Received a call from CFO of a client with 300 employees, 260 eligible,40 deferring...CFO filed 5500's 2009-2014 -- thought that plan did not need an audit.
Hired a new CPA who asked about copies of audits. Nada!
Frankly, I've never had anything but late audits...with no meaningful consequences.
4 questions:
Is this similar to a DFVC event [since I was always told that the DOL considers a failure to attach the audit as a non-filing]?
Can they get just one massive audit that covers all years and just refile the 2014 5500 + 2009-2014 audit attached, as an amended 2014 return, with DFVC and amended return boxes checked? -- or--
Must they refile every separate 5500 and have separate audits, year by year?
Does the CFO need to commit hari-kari, kamikaze or "It's a Good Life" type action???
Thanks in advance.
