PURPOSE: The purpose of this audit program is to define what areas of the 401(k) Plan are to

needed to carry out the testing and verification.

1. Participants’ Accounts - Several computer generated reports pertaining to participants’
   account are tested to verify the accuracy of the participants’ eligibility and contributions.
