Employee Benefit Plan Audit Services
Insero provides employee benefit plan audit services for organizations required to comply with ERISA and Department of Labor (DOL) regulations.

With specialized experience auditing defined contribution, defined benefit, and health and welfare plans, Insero helps organizations meet reporting obligations with clarity, consistency, and minimal administrative burden.
A Proactive, Efficient Approach to Employee Benefit Plan Audits
Employee benefit plan audits often strain internal teams already balancing payroll, compliance, and employee support responsibilities. Tight timelines, evolving regulations, and coordination across service providers create unnecessary stress, especially when paired with auditors who do not specialize in benefit plan audits.
Insero’s approach emphasizes early planning, structured communication, and technology-powered processes that refine procedures and reduce last-minute requests. The audit process protects fiduciaries while preserving operational focus.
