Who needs an employee benefit plan audit?

A company’s size determines its need for a third-party employee benefit plan audit. 一般, a plan is considered a “large” plan and requires an audit when there are more than 100 participants as of the first day of the plan year. If the plan had less than 100 participants the previous year, but still has less than 120 participants in the current year, it can still be filed as a small plan and forego the audit requirement. This rule applies so long as the eligible participant count remains less than 120.
