This is the second of three courses in the series dedicated to helping new employee benefit plan auditors identify common audit areas and give specific examples of how to test each area.  Participants will view step by step walkthroughs of how testing is carried out in real practice and learn why certain testing procedures are necessary.  

In this course participants learn about employee and employer contributions and how to properly audit each area.  Also, we discuss the requirements for timely deposits and what to look for during your audit testing.  The detailed examples were designed to give participants knowledge and skills that can be implemented immediately and reduce the EBP learning curve.
