Every employee benefit plan audit engagement requires the auditor to identify risks and tailor the audit plan to the specific plan being audited. Each plan has unique provisions, personnel, and circumstances that necessitate a thorough risk assessment process. This includes evaluating internal controls, performing risk assessments, and customizing the audit programs accordingly. Audit planning is a crucial phase of any audit engagement, and it is essential to understand how to identify and respond to risks to ensure compliance with auditing and regulatory standards.
