Knocking points off
- No independent qualified public accountant (IQPA) named.
- Only 20% as many balances as active participants — suggests many active employees aren't deferring.
Helping the score
- Concentration not scored — Schedule of Assets PDF not yet parsed for this plan.
- No Schedule C compensation disclosed — likely a small plan or unbundled.
