McGowan Guntermann provides limited scope and full scope audit services for several 401(k) and profit sharing plans. Our satisfied clients range in plan size from just above the minimum 100 participant level to over 1,000 participants. Our audit partners and staff have extensive experience auditing benefit plans.
Our team is versed and trained to understand the exposure items that are important to a plan sponsor. Additionally, we generally save our clients internal cost by performing our audits in normally no more than one day of fieldwork. Since this is a specialty area for us, we do not waste our client's time or their administrator's time. Our fees are competitive and are generally less than those charged by a "Big 4" firm.
McGowan Guntermann is a member of the newly formed AICPA Employee Benefit Plan Audit Control Center. The Center's main purpose is to insure the quality of employee benefit plan audits. As a member, McGowan Guntermann is dedicated to perform quality ERISA audits, and has access to audit and accounting resources, ERISA information and member's forums where current developments are discussed.
We have several satisfied clients who will provide excellent references. We are quite often referred plan audits by existing clients, third-party administrators, custodial trustee's, other CPA's, including "Big 4" firms and smaller firms that do not perform benefit plan audits.
