401(k) Plan Audits: What to Expect of the Process

August 15

Learn why a 401(k) audit is important and how it can be performed efficiently by all involved parties.

Most 401(k) plans must comply with the financial audit requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and any 401(k) plan can be subject to a compliance audit by the Department of Labor or Internal Revenue Service. This presentation will provide attendees with information on the differences between financial and compliance audits, including the objectives and outcomes of each. The live webinar will discuss the specific requirements of an ERISA financial audit, including the major audit steps and tests performed, and will prepare attendees to effectively interface with independent auditors during the financial audit process. Additionally, the workshop will provide information on DOL and IRS compliance audit procedures, address common compliance audit triggers, and discuss effectively working with the DOL or IRS during a compliance audit.

Learning Objectives

  • You will be able to explain the difference between a financial audit and a compliance audit of a 401(k) plan.
  • You will be able to describe the major steps involved in a financial audit of a 401(k) plan.
  • You will be able to discuss how to work with the DOL or IRS during a 401(k) plan audit.
  • You will be able to identify common 401(k) plan compliance audit triggers.
