TWHC has been providing audit services for employee benefit plans for over 30 years. We provide guidance and insight when it is of most value to our clients and help them meet their fiduciary duties. Substandard work can be costly and may result in significant penalties by the DOL on administrators of employee benefit plans. We have extensive experience with error corrections, preventing significant financial penalties, and saving many organizations in the long run.
During a benefit plan audit, our auditors and professionals gain a thorough understanding of the plan and its internal controls to tailor our approach and achieve a cost-effective and collaborative audit. One area of particular focus is compliance monitoring. To comply with DOL and ERISA regulations, certain audit steps, which would not be required absent those regulations, are performed. In addition, as part of every employee benefit plan audit performed, a senior member of our compensation and benefits group performs a review of the IRS Form 5500, plan documents, compliance testing results, and other information, focusing on assessing the accuracy of the IRS Form 5500 and compliance with certain DOL and ERISA requirements. Through this process, we provide valuable insight into the compliance activities of your plan and assist in avoiding compliance deficiencies.
