Maryland ERISA Audits
401(k) plans have become one of the most popular retirement options offered by Baltimore and Maryland companies. To attract new talent and retain existing employees, offering these plans as part of a comprehensive benefits package is important. Many face challenges when the plan grows and meets the minimum requirement under a Department of Labor (DOL) ERISA Audit. Others who have been through a plan audit may have issues with their provider meeting deadlines, poor communication, or staff issues. To avoid these challenges, working with a provider with experience auditing 401(k) and other plans is important. This allows them to deliver value beyond the traditional audit through insights and best practices.

About Baltimore (MD)
The Baltimore business community is actively fostering growth and innovation, particularly focusing on the inclusion and support of small, minority, and Black-owned businesses. A key initiative in this effort is the Downtown BOOST Program, which aims to enhance the success of creative, Black-owned businesses in downtown storefronts. This initiative has supported a range of businesses, from interior design firms like Décorelle, which aims to serve middle-income markets, to innovative retail spaces like Smith Co, which blends fashion, music, and lifestyle products.
To further support the development of minority and small businesses, the Mayor’s Office of Small and Minority Business Advocacy & Development provides a variety of tools and resources. This includes prequalification processes for contractors bidding on city projects, ensuring they have the necessary technical and financial capabilities and a comprehensive set of development programs and resources designed to foster growth and capacity building among local businesses.
