Common Questions from California Employers

Are California companies subject to additional 401(k) audit rules?

The primary requirements come from ERISA and DOL, but California businesses often have complex organizational structures or multi-entity payrolls. We tailor our audits to address those operational realities.

When are audit and Form 5500 filings due?

Generally, seven months after the plan year ends, with an optional 2½-month extension. We’ll handle all timing, documentation, and electronic filing for you.

How much does a 401(k) audit cost in California?

Pricing varies based on plan size, participant count, and complexity. We offer flat-fee quotes to ensure clarity and affordability for every California business.
