Regulatory Affairs and Compliance
We believe that employers need to understand how legislation affects employee benefits and the steps needed to maintain compliance. While some firms are merely focusing on ACA compliance, we bridge the gap and help clients achieve total health and welfare compliance.
Our goal is to ensure that our clients have the most up to date information in order for them to make optimal business decisions.
Health and Welfare Compliance Audits
A comprehensive compliance audit designed to educate and identify potential gaps in our client’s health and welfare compliance strategy. We make recommendations and a create project plan to help close any potential compliance gaps. After our initial audit, we provide our clients with ongoing monitoring and education to ensure our clients remain in compliance.
Our audits focus on the following areas:
- ACA Employer Mandate Compliance
- ACA Reporting (1094/1095 Reporting)
- PCORI Fee Submissions
- ERISA Summary Plan Descriptions (SPD) / WrapSPDs
