Is Your 401(k) Plan Document File Ready for an Audit?
A fiduciary file checklist will help you to compile documents to keep your fiduciary audit file up-to-date and assist with periodic reviews of your retirement plan.
These documents should be readily at hand in the event that a DOL auditor shows up. This becomes easier if the advisor maintains an online filing cabinet for these and other plan documents that are also accessible to the plan sponsor.
