Audits of employee benefit plans, such as defined contribution plans (including 401k plans), defined benefit plans, and health and welfare benefit plans, are subject to distinct accounting and financial reporting standards.

RTA performs ERISA audits for publicly held companies as well as closely held businesses.  More and more, audit committees of publicly held companies are focusing on the bifurcation of accounting and auditing services among and between public accounting firms to lower costs and improve profits. Although public companies continue to contract with national and international public accounting firms to perform the audit of their basic financial statements, many are now beginning to focus on the variety of services provided by local and regional firms, such as RTA.  We enable a number of public companies to achieve better pricing of peripheral audit services, such as the audit of employee benefit plans, without sacrificing quality of service.
