Pension Audit Specialists
Feeley & Driscoll has a team of professional accountants dedicated to providing audits of retirement plans. Generally, under the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) a company is required to have an audit of its retirement plan(s) if it has 100 or more eligible participants (former or current employees) in your pension plan(s). The IRS may require you to have an independent CPA firm audit your pension plan(s). Our audits range widely but also include defined contribution plans (401 (k), 403b, safe-harbor plans, defined benefit, profit sharing, health and welfare, and ESOP plan audits). In addition to the audit, companies are required to prepare and file the IRS Form 5500. The Form 5500 is due by the end of the seventh month following the plan year end. Our CPA firm recommends that you file early as late fees and missed deadlines can cost you dearly. Recently, the IRS has been focusing on retirement plans and has enacted strict enforcement and penalties making it important for companies to use specialists for the audit of their plan(s). ERISA audits require effective planning and supervision as well as a thorough understanding of the applicable laws and regulations. Our certified public accountant services can be an efficient alternative to your current auditors. Find out how our expertise with pension plans can help you and your company.
