| Compliance Review 
  Proactive review of plan operations can avoid audits or dramatically
    reduce their cost, prevent participant claims, streamline administration,
    and reveal plan design opportunities.  We offer suggestions and
    comments that go far beyond the minimum requirements of the law. Our staff
    will work cooperatively with the persons responsible for these functions, to
    assure that there will be a receptive response to our comments, and assist
    in implementation.  
  Plan compliance reviews can be
  tailored to meet any client objectives. Review protocols are established and
  supervised by our senior personnel. 
   Our services include: 
    
      Issue-specific review, designed
      to address particular compliance or administrative questions.
      Pre-correction analysis, to
      determine whether contemplated remedial measures are adequate or are
      likely to meet with regulatory approval.
      Category-specific review, of
      one or more categories of plan operation: reporting, disclosure, record keeping,
      administrative practices, or fiduciary actions.
      Comprehensive review, covering
      all categories of plan operations.        
The product of our Reviews can be as detailed or formal as desired. Our
engagement can be through counsel, to protect any available attorney-client
privilege.   |
