- Recognize common filing errors – Avoid issues like incorrect participant counts, missing schedules, and inconsistent financial data that often lead to penalties or audit scrutiny
- Understand penalties and correction programs – Learn the financial impact of late or inaccurate filings and how programs like DFVC can reduce exposure.
