Retirement Plan Audits

MRPR Group performs over 30 retirement plan audits annually. We specialize in the audit of retirement plans of publicly traded and privately held companies. The Department of Labor requires the annual audit of any retirement plan with more than 100 participants.

Our experience and our membership in the AICPA's Employee Benefit Plan Quality Control Center helps to ensure the quality of our work and that your company's retirement plan is in compliance with ERISA.

Over 20 Years of Experience

Many firms do not have sufficient experience in retirement plan audits and‚ as a result‚ tend to do more work than necessary‚ resulting in excessive‚ unwarranted fees. Others aren't thorough enough‚ resulting in a limited and potentially incomplete audit.

Make sure your retirement plan auditor has clear and relevant experience in retirement plan audits. MRPR Group has over 20 years of experience performing retirement plan audits.

Thorough Testing

Practitioners Publishing Company recommends testing a sample of at least 25 employees‚ but leaves the final number up to the auditor's discretion. As a result‚ many firms only test a sample of 5-10 employees for their audit. At MRPR Group‚ we always test a sample of at least 25 employees to ensure our accuracy and your compliance with ERISA.

Organized Process

If your auditor isn't properly organized‚ you could spend countless hours assembling reports and paperwork when they arrive. At MRPR Group‚ we contact every client at least two weeks prior to the audit with a checklist of what items to have ready.

Reasonable & Consistent Fees

Since audits of retirement plans are a regulatory requirement and generally are not used for any other significant purpose‚ clients look to pay a fair‚ but not excessive‚ fee. Through our experience in the proposal process, we have found that MRPR Group's retirement plan audit fees range from 16-38% less than those of regional or national firms.

Quick Turnaround

Regional and national firms are often so busy with their normal audit work and Sarbanes-Oxley matters, that their retirement plan audit work is pushed aside and not given the timely attention it needs. As a result‚ deadlines are missed‚ or individuals with little training in retirement plan audits are assigned to the work. MRPR Group gets your audit done in 3 weeks or less.
