Overview

What you document matters
Understand different parts of the employee benefit plan (EBP) audit process, and learn to think holistically about your level of audit documentation. Understand the appropriate level of documentation in the performance of audit procedures of employee benefit plans, which will involve testing items that are not typically tested in audits of other types of entities.

Real-life examples
Learn from real-life examples and solutions, guided by a former employee benefit plan expert panel member and someone who performs peer reviews. Work in templates to truly understand documentation in an EBP audit, and learn best practices for documentation to incorporate into your audits.
