Employee Benefit Plans



A successful employee benefit plan includes compliance with government regulations and fulfills your organization’s fiduciary obligations. ABIP specializes in auditing employee benefit plans for both small and large businesses of all industries. Our benefit plan audits include firm-wide training, quality control policies and procedures, annual inspection processes and public peer reviews. In addition, ABIP specialists provide further assessments that offer recommendations to improve current benefit plans.

Employee benefit plans require expert and up-to-date knowledge of labor and employee benefit laws. For example, did you know employee benefit plans with 100 or more participants are required by federal law to include audited financial statements with their Form 5500 filings? Federal law may also require audits for smaller benefit plans. We work with companies with fewer than 100 participants to help prepare them for future compliance. We also address potential operational defects to save clients of both large and small businesses potential future problems.

Rising health care costs, the Pension Protection Act of 2006 and fluctuating investment earnings are just some of the key components impacting employee benefit plans. Our specialists are informed and experienced and our employee benefit plan audits ensure complete compliance. In a situation where federal law is involved, expert accounting advice can make the difference between stressful violation fees and calm uninterrupted business.
