EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN AUDITS

At Bowman & Company LLP, we service and audit employee benefit plans to provide value adds well beyond traditional compliance services. We work with administrators and plan sponsors to help ensure that they are kept up-to-date on changes in the regulatory environment and are able to effectively manage their plan. Through collaboration with various service providers, third-party administrators, custodians, actuaries, plan sponsors, and trustees, our representatives will guide you through the audit process. This process ensures management gains valuable knowledge and input as a result of the audit.

ENSURING THE STRENGTH, STRUCTURE AND COMPLIANCE OF YOUR PLAN

An independent employee benefit plan audit can mitigate the risk to participants and firm assets, and maintain the financial integrity of your plan. Routine audits also aid in determining whether the necessary funds will be available to pay retirement, health, and other benefits to plan participants. Our team of experienced auditors will assess your plan’s financial statements to plan an efficient audit. In addition verifying plan validity and structure, our employee benefit plan audits allow organizations to fulfill their legal responsibilities and avoid administrator penalties. Federal law generally requires employee benefit plans with 100 or more eligible participants to have an audit as part of their obligation to file an annual return/report (Form 5500 series). In addition to preparing IRS Form 5500, Bowman’s audit specialists can facilitate summary annual reports and consult on employee benefit plans.
