Abstract
The Department of Labor (DOL) has intensified its supervision of audit quality as it finds a decline in employee benefit plan (EBP) audit quality and an increase in the number of errors found. The heightened oversight is expected to continue for EBP audits in 2018 and beyond. With the countless audit issues and risks that should be addressed, employers need to keep themselves abreast of the current regulatory findings, initiatives, and actions.
In this Live Webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders brought together by The Knowledge Group will help employee benefits professionals understand the important aspects of this significant topic. They will provide an in-depth discussion of the recent developments surrounding significant EPB audit issues. Speakers will also offer best compliance practices.
Key topics include:
• DOL’s Current Regulatory Findings, Initiatives, and Actions
• AICPA's Proposed Standard
• Common Audit Challenges, Issues and Findings
• Financial Reporting and Disclosures: Avoiding Mistakes and Deficiencies
• Best Compliance Practices
