Frequently asked questions

When is Form 11-K due?

The standard deadline is 90 calendar days after plan year end. Eligible ERISA plans filing under a Form S-8 have 180 calendar days. Weekend and SEC holiday due dates roll forward. All deadlines ET.

Does Form 11-K require audited financial statements?

Yes. Form 11-K requires audited financial statements for the employee plan. The plan audit is separate from the issuer's annual financial statement audit.

Why are Form 11-K filings often late?

The filing depends on a separate plan audit and a plan-year calendar that may not match the issuer's fiscal year. Tracking both workstreams early reduces the risk of a late filing.
