HOW IT WORKS

With a process refined over multiple decades and thousands of employee benefit plan audits, we know how to keep things running smoothly.

Here’s what you can expect during each step of your audit.

Step 1

Planning Call

Before getting started, we’ll schedule time to talk about your plan. If you’re a new client, we’ll dive deep into the details. If you’ve partnered with us before, there’s no need to start from scratch — we focus our time on what’s changed since we last connected.

Step 2

We Get to Work

Once we have the information we need, we get started on your audit — keeping you updated through Atlas, our centralized, practice management collaborative application. With Atlas, you can securely share documentation and files with our team, communicate with us throughout your audit and track its progress 24/7.

Step 3

Results

Once your audit is complete, we provide you with an audit report on the plan’s financial statements and a communications with governance letter, which goes over the results of the audit and details our findings. At the client’s request, we typically assist in drafting the financial statements and related footnotes as part of the audit process.

Step 4

Wrap-up Call

Finally, we’ll meet with you again to discuss the results of your audit and answer any questions you have, whether it’s a discussion with your team or a more formal presentation to a committee.

FAQs

When does a funded welfare benefit plan need an audit?

Only funded plans with 100 or more subscribers generally require an audit. If the plan is unfunded and benefits are paid directly from your company’s general assets (instead of by a trust), no audit is typically needed.

Do these audits involve any additional considerations?

Yes. Funded welfare benefit plan audits often involve handling sensitive employee data, such as HIPAA-protected records. At Caron Bletzer, we understand and are prepared to uphold the responsibilities that access to this type of information requires.

What types of non-retirement benefit plans do you audit?

We have experience auditing medical, dental, vision, life insurance, childcare reimbursement accounts and other types of health and welfare benefit plans.
