Daryl G. Krause, the Manager and CEO of DG Krause LLC (DGK), has been involved in performing employee benefit plan audits since 1982.

​

Daryl graduated summa cum laude from the University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh with a bachelor's degree in business administration in January of 1982. Upon graduation, he joined the audit staff of Ernst & Whinney (a predecessor firm to Ernst & Young LLP). He became a certified public accountant (CPA) on January 18, 1985. He has been a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) since May 31, 1989. While Daryl had many roles and responsibilities during his 23-plus years with Ernst & Young LLP, including 5 years in their National office, he honed his skills in the employee benefit plan arena while serving as E&Y's Area Director of Employee Benefit Plan Services for their Ohio Valley Area from August of 1996 through June 30, 2004. In that capacity he served as either a sign-off partner, independent reviewer, or technical advisor on hundreds of employee benefit plan audits each year. Daryl has been a frequent attendee of the AICPA's National Conference on Employee Benefit Plans since 1997 and was a speaker at the 2017 Conference.

Daryl is a frequent discussion leader for the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants (AICPA) and various states' CPA Society-sponsored employee benefit plan-related professional development training programs.
