If your benefit plan serves 100 or more participants, you most likely need to file Form 5500 to disclose details about the plan. We take the utmost care in preparing, managing and maintaining compliance for the Form 5500 to report on the quality and condition of your plan’s investments and operations.

In 2021, the DOL issued guidance for best practices to address cybersecurity risks tied to benefit plans. This means plan sponsors now have an obligation to ensure the mitigation of such risks – part of this obligation may include a System and Organization Controls (SOC) 1 audit. Our professionals conduct a thorough SOC 1 audit and report of 401(k) record keepers to provide assurance that appropriate controls and processes are in place to safeguard the security of your plan.
