Employee Benefit Plans Expertise

HHM’s employee benefit plan audit practice is led by Randy Dummer, a nationally recognized expert with over 30 years of experience. He brought a DOL-praised, risk-focused audit methodology that emphasizes accuracy, efficiency, and clarity. Our trained teams across all offices leverage firmwide resources to deliver consistent, specialized expertise for retirement and welfare benefit plans.

We stay current on Department of Labor regulations, ERISA requirements, and AICPA standards, tailoring audits to each plan’s areas of greatest risk. This approach ensures a low-stress, efficient audit that strengthens internal controls, fiduciary oversight, and overall plan performance.

Our team has extensive experience auditing 401(k), 403(b), 401(a), and 457 plans; defined benefit and cash balance plans; ESOPs; health and welfare plans; and multi-employer plans. By coordinating across departments and third-party providers, we bring clarity to complex structures and make the audit process a true value-added experience.
