The BMSS Difference

Let us bring you peace of mind.

In a report issued by the Department of Labor, the DOL indicated that a firm who is a member of the AICPA’s Employee Benefit Plan Audit Quality Center (EBPAQC) statistically has fewer generally accepted auditing standards deficiencies. BMSS has voluntarily been a member of the EBPAQC since 2012. By joining the audit quality center, we have agreed to meet specific experience, training and practice monitoring requirements.

We leverage our relationships with relevant service organizations to better assist our clients.
