4. How many plans does your firm audit? Firms that
only perform a small number of employee benefit plan
audits often aren’t spending time staying up-to-date on
the latest technical standards.
5. Does your firm have a specialized practice group
for EBP audits? Not having a dedicated team of
professionals to perform EBP audits means not having
an efficiently performed audit and not benefitting from
the skilled expertise that dedicated professionals
provide, including a review to ensure your plan is in
compliance with the latest regulations.
6. s your firm a member of the AICPA’s Employee
I
Benefit Plan Audit Quality Center? Members of
this quality center are committed to the ongoing
compliance and testing requirements of EBP audits.
Their voluntary membership in the center is an
indicator of their commitment to providing quality EBP
audits.
7. Does your firm have a record of clean opinions
from the AICPA, PCAOB or DOL inspections?
Making significant changes as a result of regulatory
inspections could mean a lack of experience and
proper level of expertise in charge of performing your
plan’s audit.
8. n addition to the audit, what other guidance
I
can you give us? In addition to issuing an opinion
and report on the plan’s financial statements, the
firm should report on any significant problems
encountered, as well as suggest ways to improve
internal controls and plan operations.
