Topic: Are You Prepared for a DOL Audit?
DOL audits have historically been random or targeted to specific complaints. However, in 2012 the DOL initiated a project to increase the volume of health & welfare plan audits moving likelihood of an audit from an if to a when for employers and plan sponsors. This presentation will provide a translation of complex regulations into understandable benefits language while helping your plan avoid penalty assessments.
Learning Objectives
Participants will gain an understanding of:
- ERISA fundamental requirements
- How the DOL engages the plan audit process
- Potential penalty assessments
Proposed changes that will directly impact every employer sponsored plan
