"As part of some due diligence work, I am reviewing the invoices for a qualified pension plan that is severely underfunded for the past several years. I am seeing billing for PBGC filings and actuarial valuation work that are normal parts of plan administration and can be paid from pension assets. However, I also see some payments for annual pension meetings to discuss valuation work. Hiring an actuarial firm is one thing, but would anyone consider paying travel expenses for the actuarial firm to attend a meeting a part of plan administration? My thought is that a travel expense should be paid from the company account and not plan assets."
