Audit Approach
As a firm, we have chosen to adopt PPC's Guide to Audits of Employee Benefit Plans as our system for auditing benefit plans. This Guide is marketed through Thomson Reuters (Tax & Accounting) Inc. and has thousands of subscribers. Like any tool though, the effectiveness of the Guide, which is the basis for our approach, is the result of the way it is used by our experienced auditor and CEO Daryl G. Krause. Daryl uses his years of experience in completing and signing off as an engagement partner on hundreds of employee benefit plan audits to ensure that the audit process is thorough, in compliance with generally accepted auditing standards, and takes into consideration the published expectations of the Department of Labor regulators.
