Form 5500 -- Who Should Sign Amended Returns?

[Guest notapensiongeek]

We took over a plan whose prior year 5500's weren't correct, so we've gone back and amended the returns. At that time, the CPA was listed as the Plan Administrator, so I asked him to sign the amended forms (once on the 5500 and on the Schedule SSA). He's questioning this, saying that we should have a current officer or trustee sign instead of him. Doesn't he have to sign since he was listed in the plan document for those years that I amending? Or does it really matter?

Any input on this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

The amended forms would be signed by the current Plan Administrtor, not the previous PA.
