The IRS, DOL and PBGC routinely examine retirement plans for compliance with the tax-qualification requirements, ERISA Title I compliance and in connection with plan terminations under ERISA Title IV. We regularly defend these examinations on behalf of plan sponsors, meticulously making every legal and administrative argument necessary to ensure that our clients avoid costly penalties and excise taxes, and potential costly litigation. Our professionals prepare the client for the examination onsite and organize responsive documents, after limiting the scope of the review. We are routinely successful in having regulatory audit conclude quickly and in having no excise taxes or penalties assessed.
