EMPLOYEE BENEFIT
PLAN AUDITS

Independent audits of employee benefit plans are a critical step in ensuring compliance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). At Harper Pearson, we perform all types of benefit plan audits, from defined contribution and defined benefit to health and welfare plan audits.

We perform over 90 Employee Benefits Plan audits—helping our clients make sure they’re taking care of employees while remaining compliant. We are well positioned to help organizations of all sizes, and currently serve companies ranging from 100 employees to 25,000+ employees with over $1B in assets.

In addition, we are a proud member of the AICPA Employee Benefit Plan Audit Quality Center (EBPAQC) and the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans. Harper Pearson is also registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB).
