The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) was established to protect the interests of benefit plan participants and their beneficiaries.  If you have a defined contribution plan such as a 401(k) or 403(b), or a defined benefit plan, you are most likely subject to ERISA.  It is important for your plan to work with CPAs who are knowledgeable and stay up to date with ERISA, who understand what your plan needs to maintain compliance with the Department of Labor, and who are experienced in performing employee benefit plan audits.  Akins Henke and Company fits these qualifications and provides the following services to employee benefit plans:

• Audits of 401(k) and 403(b) Plans (full scope or DOL limited scope)
• Preparation of 5500 returns
• Preparation of Form 8955-SSA
• Preparation of plan financial statements
• Internal control consultation

Please contact Georgia Akins or Chris Henke to discuss your employee benefit plan needs.
