Our 401(k) Auditing Services

Every retirement plan is unique, and just like your business, your plan has its own set of needs. That’s why we offer a variety of 401(k) auditing services to fit your situation, whether you’re a larger company with hundreds of employees or a smaller business looking for a more streamlined approach.

ERISA Section 103(a)(3)(C) Audits

For smaller plans, we offer a more focused audit based on ERISA Section 103(a)(3)(C). This audit zeroes in on key risk areas to ensure your plan stays on track.

Full-Scope Audits

Have a plan with over 100 participants? We’ll take a deep dive into everything from your financial statements to individual accounts and plan documents, ensuring you comply with ERISA regulations.

Internal Control Reviews

Worried about potential errors? We can assess your plan’s internal controls, identify any weaknesses, and suggest improvements to protect your plan’s assets.

Compliance Testing

Understanding regulations can be tricky. Our team will conduct thorough tests of your plan’s operations, making sure they adhere to both Department of Labor (DOL) and IRS guidelines.

Form 5500 Preparation

The IRS Form 5500 can be a headache; we’ll assist you with completing the IRS Form 5500, saving you valuable time and stress.

401(k) Audit: What Is It?

A 401(k) audit can best be thought of as a checkup for your company’s retirement plan. It’s an independent review by Haynie & Company’s financial experts to make sure everything is running smoothly and according to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). During the audit, our team examines the accuracy of your employees’ account balances, how much money is being contributed, and whether your plan documents are followed correctly.

When Is a 401(k) Audit Needed?

Keeping your retirement plan on track is important for both you and your employees. But how do you know when a simple review by your team isn’t enough and a more in-depth 401(k) audit is needed? Here are some situations that might call for an audit, along with some extra benefits:

  • Number of Participants: There’s a bit of a threshold when it comes to audits. If your retirement plan has over 100 participants at the start of the year, under ERISA regulations, a full review is required. There’s also a “heads-up” rule called the 80-120 Rule. If your plan has between 80 and 120 participants, you have some flexibility. You can choose to be audited like a larger plan for one year, especially if you haven’t had one before.
  • Plan Changes: You might need to make adjustments to your plan, like updating documents or changing the contribution amount. In these cases, an audit can be a good idea as it helps ensure any adjustments you make follow the rules and the chance of any mistakes down the line is reduced.
  • Department of Labor (DOL) Inquiry: Let’s say the Department of Labor decides to take a closer look at your plan through an official investigation. At this point, an audit becomes very important. A clean audit report completed quickly can help resolve their inquiry efficiently and minimize any disruption to your business.
  • Reassurance: Even if not mandatory, it can offer valuable insights into how your plan is running. Additionally, it can highlight areas for improvement, giving you peace of mind that your employees’ retirement plan stays healthy for the long term.
