HOW IT WORKS

PLAN AMENDMENTS

Laws change frequently and plans need to be amended to comply with the most recent requirements. We'll make sure your plan is current by keeping ourselves up to date on all IRS and Government changes.

RESTATEMENTS

A plan using a custom document must generally be restated every 5 years based on the company's federal ID. We'll make sure your plan stays compliant by taking care of the work and updating you with the results.

RETROACTIVE AMENDMENTS

Despite everyone's best efforts, mistakes can happen. If they do, LRS can help you correct the problem and retain the benefits of your qualified plan, before the IRS or other agencies get involved.

Government Reporting

Even with the best intentions, fiduciary and operational violations can occur with a company sponsored retirement plan. Let LRS take the stress out of compliance to changing regulations by doing it for you.

LRS’s compliance programs are designed to ensure that plan fiduciaries comply with their obligations, protect plan assets, and minimize personal and financial liability wherever possible.
