Andy the Actuary Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I'm using I file for DB plans. Edit Attachments breaks down all of the auditors exhibits. Must you add as separate attachments or will IFILE accept a filing where you've simply attached the Auditor's opinion and it clearly labels the exhbits? Thus, one glop versus 4 or 5 little glops (e.g., opinon letter, 5% transactions, assets held, footprint of first born).

Thank you. Is this an EFAST2 validation error or a Relius error message. If a Relius error message, can Relus still produce an xml file, which will be accepted by EFAST2? Your explanation was my suspicion. The auditors I deal with appear to be anti-glop and also anti-reading DOL instructions. My hardfast position is to maintain integrity of the process I will in no way, shape, or form alter the attachments they send me. Thus, when they have sent me there auditors report and say everyting is there, I go back to them and have asked for little glops. Owing to my pertinacity, they are finding it difficult to sit down after dealing with me. Actually, this is exciting since I feel as if I am returning years of tit-for-tat. More seriously, I believe if I do alter their attachments, then I am looking for trouble if DOL rejects.

We're working to get the auditors in our acctg firm to understand the process, but that doesn't mean the auditors on the plans that we're the TPA for will understand. We're taking a bit more of a practical approach and just doing the necessary surgery on the GLOP pdf to make the little glopules. If the DOL comes after me for it, that's why we hire attorneys.

Andy the Actuary Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 Suppose that auditor's report contain no asset acquisitions/disposition schedule. Should I create a schedule that indicates "none" and produce a pdf glop so that the Relius attachment bucket can be filled? Or, can I simply IFILE without it and not get an incomplete filing message?
