What Is a Retirement Plan Audit?
Each year, the Department of Labor (DOL) and the IRS Employee Plans Compliance Program conduct audits and examinations of qualified retirement plans to evaluate operational compliance, reporting accuracy, and adherence to retirement plan regulations.
Even well-managed retirement plans can face detailed audit requests and extensive documentation requirements. Our experienced retirement plan administration team helps employers understand the audit process, organize required information, address compliance concerns, and navigate retirement plan audits with greater confidence.
We can also work directly with the IRS or DOL on your behalf during the audit process, helping manage communications and reduce the burden on your internal team.
IRS Employee Plans (EP) Audit Support
The IRS Employee Plans Office (EP) oversees retirement plan compliance with federal tax laws and retirement plan regulations. During an IRS retirement plan audit, examinations often focus on participation requirements, vesting procedures, funding obligations, plan document compliance, and operational consistency with IRS guidelines.
We help employers prepare documentation, respond to audit inquiries, and coordinate required submissions while maintaining organized compliance records throughout the examination process.
