In 2023, the Employee Benefits Security Administration made a startling revelation: a staggering 30% of annual audits of employee benefit plan financial statements fell short, with major deficiencies in meeting key requirements. Why does this matter? For plan sponsors, errors in 401(k) audits can lead to hefty fines and even disciplinary actions. The rules for employee benefit plans audits are complex, which is why the importance of hiring experienced employee benefit plan auditors cannot be understated.
Beyond those huge financial implications, dissatisfaction with current auditors is a common issue for several other reasons:
- They see different faces every year.
- There’s a lack of communication and responsiveness.
- Their 401k audits drag out over too long a period, resulting in filing extensions.
- They don’t receive suggestions from their CPA about how to improve things.
Despite all this dissatisfaction, plan sponsors are often scared to make a change, especially if they’ve waited until summer to start thinking about their audit (the devil you know mindset).
