How Automated Compliance Testing Saves You Thousands

Every year, 401(k) plans must pass a series of IRS non-discrimination tests including the ADP test, ACP test, Top Heavy test, and Coverage test (410(b)).

Traditionally, plan sponsors hire third-party administrators (TPAs) to run these tests — often at a cost of $2,000–$5,000 per year. And because results come quarterly or annually, issues are discovered long after they could have been easily corrected.

GlidingPath's automated compliance engine, powered by Drools business rules, runs continuous testing against your plan data. This means potential issues are flagged in real time.

The result: fewer corrective actions, lower TPA fees, and peace of mind knowing your plan is always in compliance.
