ERISA Audits for Cherry Hill (NJ) Companies
Belfint Lyons & Shuman serves employers in New Jersey and across Cherry Hill with their 401(k) plan audit needs. The reporting and other requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) are complex and regularly changing. Careful consideration needs to be exercised to ensure plan operations are following plan provisions, legislative requirements, and participant elections. In other words, a retirement plan audit is a specialty audit that requires more than foundational knowledge of basic accounting and auditing principles.
We have significant experience serving the various types of retirement plans offered by New Jersey employers. This includes defined contribution, defined benefit, health and welfare, and more. In fact, the DOL places so much importance on finding the right plan auditor they produced, Selecting An Auditor for Your Employee Benefit Plan. As you will see when reviewing it, that our firm meets the criteria for an experienced auditor that can guide your team through the process.
