The Department of Labor (DOL) has broad authority to investigate or audit an employee benefit plan’s compliance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). Audits are performed by the DOL’s Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA).
A DOL audit will generally include a request for a list of plan-related documents. Employers that receive audit letters may be surprised and overwhelmed by the number of documents requested by the DOL auditor. It is important for employers to maintain employee benefit documents in an organized fashion so they can respond to a DOL audit request in the event this occurs.
This Compliance Overview includes a checklist of documents that are commonly requested in a DOL audit.
