Cash Balance in a restoration plan

[Guest Spock]

Has anyone ever run into trouble with their auditor for having a non-qualified cash balance plan? A consultant infomred us that some sponsors of a qualfied cash balance plans hit snags with their auditors for having a non-qualifed cash balance plan that restores benefits lost because of the 401(a)(17) limit.

Has anyone run into this issue?

Thx.

It does not appear that such cosmic phenomenon are prevalent in the known universe at this star date. Perhaps beyond the Great Barrier one must venture.
