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.
