Employee Benefit Plan Audits

Padgett, Stratemann & Co., L.L.P. Brochure

 
     

 


An audit can satisfy different purposes for a company – stakeholder interests, better business management, regulatory interests, etc. The team of auditors at PS&Co. understands these purposes and performs professional audits using experienced observations, professionalism, and a high level of standards.

In addition to our management audits, operational reviews, and internal audits, we also provide employee benefit plan audits.

Here is an example of what our clients are saying:

"We at X Construction Company would like to thank you and your staff for the professional service that was provided to us during our recent audit. The training provided to our staff will help this company grow and better record daily transactions plus manage our affairs.

The audit was thorough yet not intrusive and was done rapidly enough for us to do a June letting. We would like to recognize your team of Leslie, Ymelda, Amber, and Jennifer. Tom from your tax department provided a wealth of knowledge as well. We are looking forward to future dealings with the Firm."

-Letter from the President, two Vice Presidents, Bookkeeper, Office Manager and Accountant of large South Texas Construction Company, May 2006

Employee Benefit Plan Audits

Employee benefit plans are becoming increasingly popular among employers. They are also becoming more complex. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) currently requires that most plans with 100 or more participants (eligible employees) have an annual audit of their plan performed by an independent accountant. The complexities and regulatory requirements make it mandatory to have experienced benefit plan audit professionals assisting you.

Padgett, Stratemann & Co., L.L.P. Approach
Our employee benefit plan audit team can assist you to meet the regulatory requirements of your employee benefit plan. We provide a structured, quality audit approach that includes:

  • Meeting with key employees of your business to develop an understanding of your business and its employee benefit plans
  • Contacting and working with the Plan Administrator to request other essential items needed for the audit
  • Developing an audit plan to meet your specific schedule and filing requirements
  • A review of plan Form 5500 by our experienced Plan Administrators
  • Physically conducting the audit at your business site to enhance communication and efficiency
  • Identifing and sharing ideas to enhance your plan
  • Identifing any regularity and fiduciary issues to discuss with management and plan trustees

What Is Delivered To You?
Completing the regulatory requirement of your employee benefit plan through a reputable firm provides peace of mind and assurance that your employees' plans are protected. Upon completion of our audit, you receive the final report necessary for filing the Form 5500 and the peace of mind that you deserve.
