Retirement Plan Audits (CPA)

Speakers: Adam C. Pozek, QPA, QKA, QPFC, DWC ERISA Consultants, LLC, Salem, NH & CariAnn J. Todd, CPA, BeachFleischman PC, Tucson, AZ

Employee benefits plan audits can be challenging each year. When you take into account that CPAs and TPAs do not always speak the same language, things can get even more complicated. In this webcast, CariAnn and Adam will bring their perspectives as a CPA and a TPA to present case studies of both straightforward and unusual audit issues and discuss how to make the process one of collaboration rather than chaos.
