“Are you prepared for a PPACA audit? Most companies are unaware that they can be fined by the IRS or Department of Labor for up to $10,000 per transaction for being out of compliance with PPACA regulations. Three out of four audited plans have violations,” said Robert Weaver, president of RWI Benefits. “Now is the time to act on compliance--because warriors don’t wait.”
