Reasons why you should choose Stambaugh Ness to conduct your Employee Benefit Plan Audit:

• MEMBER OF THE AICPA EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN AUDIT QUALITY CENTER — Our voluntary membership in this newly created Center demonstrates our commitment to adhere to Center membership requirements. Membership in this Center provides us with tools and best practices to perform efficient and quality audits.

• FOCUSED TEAM OF PROFESSIONALS — Stambaugh Ness has partner and managerial level staff and auditing personnel who concentrate in auditing employee benefit plans. They understand the compliance and reporting requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

• SPECIALIZED TRAINING AND QUALITY SERVICES — As a member of the Audit Quality Center, we  have implemented firm-wide training programs and established policies and procedures to provide quality audit services.

• DEPARTMENT OF LABOR (DOL) REVIEWS — The DOL is focused on a new broad-based Initiative Program that requires employee benefit plan audit work papers to be selected for random  reviews. The result of an unsatisfactory DOL review could be rejection of the Plan’s Form 5500 tax filing, including assessment of penalties and interest. Stambaugh Ness passed a DOL Audit for a client in March, 2006.

• SCOPE OF SERVICES — The rules governing benefit plan compliance have grown increasingly complex. Our efficiency and effectiveness are a result of our focus on single-employer, defined benefit and defined contribution pension plan audits in accordance with Department  of Labor regulations. With our focused and skilled team of professionals we can provide quality and timely product in compliance with ERISA and IRS requirements.

• VALUE ADDED — We provide you with constructive feedback focused upon internal control process improvements for your plan and professional guidance on compliance matters including implementation of new rules and regulations.
