A very important topic for businesses with employee benefit packages. In this episode we are joined by two leaders of our ERISA audit team: Principal Magen Koepp and Director Carrie Sundberg. Employee benefit plan audits are important for businesses that meet a certain number of participants. This is an enforcement by the Department of Labor and if businesses don't meet certain requirements, they can experience costly penalties.
