Audits are generally required for employee benefit plans with an excess of 100 eligible participants at the beginning of any plan year, however, there are transitional rules. The definition of an eligible participant includes employees who are eligible regardless of whether they elect to contribute. Welfare benefit plans, such as medical, dental, life and long-term disability plans funded by a 501(c)(9) Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association (VEBA) Trust that have more than 100 participating employees at the beginning of the plan year are required to have an audit performed. An audit report for these plans must accompany the Form 5500. There are mandatory supplemental schedules and specific reporting requirements imposed by ERISA, the DOL and generally accepted auditing standards ("GAAS"). These unique reporting requirements make the area of employee benefit plan and welfare plan audits complex and place them outside of standard accounting and auditing services.
