do you need a 401(k) audit?
An annual audit is required of a defined benefit or defined contribution retirement plan, including 401(k) plans, when an employer has a total of 100 eligible plan participants, also known as a large-plan. A participant is defined as anyone that is eligible for the plan (even if he or she is not actively contributing) and any former employees who still carries a balance in the plan.
