Certified Public Accounting Firm Specializes in Financial Statement Audits of Employee Benefit Plans

June 17, 2015 - Hauppauge, NY – TMI CPA, P.C., is a local certified public accounting firm specializing in financial statement audits of employee benefit plans. A quality employee benefit plan audit, in accordance with Employee Retirement Income Security Action of 1974 (ERISA), will help protect the assets and financial integrity of an employee benefit plan and ensure that the necessary funds will be available to pay retirement, health, and other promised benefits to employees.

Employee benefit plan financial statement audits are required for plans with 100 or more participants, a provision enacted by ERISA to protect the interests of plan participants and beneficiaries, and to establish an effective mechanism to detect and deter abusive practices. While plan audits are often thought of as routine, they can be complicated. If things go wrong, the result can be serious tax liabilities, disqualified plans, disgruntled employees and personal fiduciary liability for the plan trustees.

Ms. Isbitsky, owner of TMI CPA, P.C., is a compliance specialist who provides financial statement audit services for employee benefit plans. Specialization in employee benefit plan audits has allowed Ms. Isbitsky to assist clients by sorting through complicated situations and creating effective correction strategies. With constant change in the rules and filing requirements, it is imperative companies choose an auditor who specializes in employee benefit plans.
