The 403(b) Company Can Help with Plan Audits
February 4, 2009 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - The 403(b)
Company has a 403(b) Administrator service that can help
sponsors get through Internal Revenue Service and Department
of Labor plan audits.

Rebecca Moore
According to the company’s Web site, it has participated in IRS audits of over 300 retirement plans on behalf of its clients and hundreds of DoL audits, becoming very familiar with the recordkeeping standards of regulators. Using the correction systems provided by the IRS and the DoL, the company has assisted many employers with correcting past “form and operational” errors on 403(b) plans.
In addition, according to the Web site, 403(b) Administrator offers:
- assistance in developing a vendor list to meet needs of employees;
- a signature-ready IRS approved plan document;
- coordination of all vendors for information sharing;
- a “meaningful notice” to all eligible employees with information regarding new regulations and how they will be affected;
- assurance of compliance with new regulations concerning loans, withdrawals, distributions, domestic relations orders, and contribution limits;
- remitter services;
- local consultants to assist sponsors with day-to-day issues; and
- low costs.
