The Replacement of Limited Scope Audits: How to Prepare for Your Next Employee Benefit Plan Audit

Over recent years, the Department of Labor (DOL) has expressed concerns over the quality of Employee Retirement Income Security Act employee benefit plan audits, specifically those being conducted as limited-scope audits. The DOL has also noted confusion regarding the Auditor’s Disclaimer of Opinion associated with limited-scope audits. As a result, the American Institute of CPAs introduced an update to the approach used to audit employee benefit plans. Institutions who once qualified for limited scope audits, will now be required to choose between a full scope audit or the newest replacement of limited scope audits, a Section 103(a)(3)(C) audit, which introduces a new set of reporting requirements and required procedures.
