Christian Elsasser of Torrillo & Associates

Are you a CPA firm with only a few Employee Benefit Plan audits?
Is the DOL inspecting your work or would you be concerned if they did?
Do you have a pretty good grasp on the financial statement audit but just need someone to answer questions you have related to employee benefit plan accounting and reporting, DOL and IRS rules and regulations?

We Can Help!



We don’t compete with your field of expertise. All we do are employee benefit plan audits.
We are not a full-service firm and we have no interest in performing corporate financial audits, tax returns, or consulting services for your clients. We focus on employee benefit plan audits each and every day.
We are members of the AICPA Employee Benefit Plan Audit Quality Center (EBPAQC) – a voluntary membership organization for firms that perform ERISA plan audits. Firms within the center demonstrate a commitment to employee benefit audit quality by agreeing to robust membership requirements.



We are considered experts in the employee benefit plan audit industry. Our Managing Member has served on the AICPA Employee Benefit Plans Expert Panel, the Executive Committee of the EBPAQC. the AICPA Practice Monitoring Task Force for Employee Benefit Plans and as chair of the PICPA Professional Ethics Committee.

Our Director of Quality assists the AICPA in writing the Audit and Accounting Guide for Employee Benefit Plans and has assisted the AICPA in developing numerous other AICPA publications, courses, and examinations for employee benefit plans. Both also serve on the Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“PICPA”) Employee Benefit Plans Committee and are frequent speakers at industry conferences.

It's Getting Rough Out There

Peer Review Assistance

The Department of Labor is focusing on audit quality and, in particular, on firms which perform five Employee Benefit Plan Audits or less. The DOL has found serious concerns with audit quality in its most recent study completed in November 2023 as well as previous inspections. As a result, the DOL and the AICPA peer review program continue to step up their focus on employee benefit plan audits.

Want To Avoid Risk?

Alleviate Issues

Many CPA firms performing five or less employee benefit plan audits may do so because they are concerned another CPA firm may get in the door at their clients. If employee benefit plan audits are a service you perform because you feel you must protect your client relationship, we can help. Consider letting us perform the employee benefit plan audit for your client so you can focus on what you do best. We do not want any other services, and we’ll do a great job for your client – helping them stay compliant, providing great specialized service, and all at an affordable fee. You will alleviate any risk associated with a DOL inspection or peer review resulting from employee benefit plan audits
