Any Auditor Can Audit My Employee Benefit Plan - Right?
No, not necessarily. An incomplete, inadequate, or untimely audit report done by an inexperienced auditor can result in penalties assessed against you as the plan's administrator. Protect yourself from this possibility by selecting an experienced and reliable auditor. It's critical for both you and your employee benefit plan.
As the plan administrator, you have a legal responsibility to file a complete and accurate annual return/report for your plan each year. A high-quality employee benefit plan audit helps you meet that responsibility.
An Experienced Audit Team is a Must
A quality employee benefit plan audit requires a specialized team of experienced professionals, not audit generalists. At Henry & Horne, we have developed a division of employee benefit plan audit specialists, who are well versed in ERISA compliance and performance of ERISA-based employee benefit plan audits. Henry & Horne is also a member of the AICPA Employee Benefit Plan Audit Quality Center, which means we adhere to the highest standards in performing quality employee benefit plan audits.
Staff Continuity + Audit Customization = Audit Efficiency
We offer continuity of engagement staffing, which is not often found at many of the large regional or national accounting firms. Efficient customized engagement procedures are designed for each audit to minimize costs and the time required of your company's accounting and HR personnel. We also work with many local and national plan administrators to facilitate the receipt of plan data for the audit process. In addition, we have assisted many clients in correcting operational errors and compliance problems before they are discovered by the IRS or the DOL.
