Working Together

To Get It Right

Employee Benefit Plan audits have been a focus of the Department of Labor (DOL) and the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) in recent years, as both organizations look to ensure that quality audits of employee benefit plans are being conducted to protect the best interests of plan beneficiaries.

Johnson Lambert takes our EBP audit services very seriously; we care about the best interests of plan beneficiaries and sponsors, and we enjoy partnering with plan administrators to ease the burden of the audit and tax compliance process.

In addition to our high-quality standards for our audits, we are a member of the AICPA Employee Benefit Plan Audit Quality Center, a membership organization for firms that perform ERISA employee benefit plan audits. The Center promotes the quality of EBP audits through the sharing of resources with member firms.

We have had recent representation on the Center's Executive Committee, and we also have current representation on the AICPA Employee Benefit Plans Expert Panel.

Through our active involvement in the Center and the industry as a whole, we bring our clients and employees knowledge of emerging issues that impact plans.

Services for Employee Benefit Plans

We add value to our clients through efficient engagements, knowledge sharing, best practice advising, and tailored synergistic and communicative approaches.

Audit Services

Not only must a benefit plan have an audit that meets all applicable standards, but, we believe, that it must also have an audit that is high quality and customized.

Benefit plans are very different entities from their sponsoring organizations. As such, plans frequently receive an audit that does not fit the risk profile or the operations of the plan.

We have audit programs tailored for defined contribution, defined benefit, and health and welfare plans that will be further customized for each individual plan audit. This ensures that your plan gets exactly what it needs, delivered efficiently and with responsive and solutions-oriented client service.

Consulting Services

Each plan sponsor faces unique challenges based on benefit plan specifications, plan participants and internal controls. All Johnson Lambert consulting project plans are uniquely designed and carefully planned. Through significant involvement and leadership in the employee benefit plan industry, we bring knowledge and expertise to each project in a way that differentiates our services from those providers without such deep industry immersion. We know what questions to ask, what to look for, and what trends we see in similar environments.
