Description
Employee Benefit Plan (EBP) audit engagements remain under close examination by regulators and peer reviewers, stemming from a historical pattern of noncompliance with applicable professional standards. It is imperative that auditors possess the requisite skills to carry out EBP engagements with proficiency. This involves navigating the audit process from the initial engagement acceptance through to reporting and completion. Given that 401(k) plans represent the predominant plan type subjected to audits, we engage in a comprehensive examination of these plans. Discover strategies to meticulously plan and execute risk-based plan audits, ensuring adherence to professional standards without compromising on efficiency.
