Looking for Assistance with Your Philadelphia (PA) 401(k) Plan audit?
Belfint Lyons & Shuman serves employers in Pennsylvania including the greater Philadelphia area with their retirement plan audit compliance needs. The reporting and compliance requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) are complex and frequently 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 the foundation knowledge of basic accounting and auditing principles.
We have significant experience serving the various types of retirement plans offered by Pennsylvania and greater Philadelphia area employers. This includes defined contribution, defined benefit, health and welfare and other types of retirement plans. The DOL places so much importance on finding the right plan auditor to perform a quality audit that it has produced an information pamphlet for employers entitled, Selecting An Auditor for Your Employee Benefit Plan. As you will see when reviewing it, our firm meets the criteria for an experienced auditor that can guide your team through the process with as little interruptions as possible.
