Tech Data centralized pension documentation to reduce manual handoffs and simplify audit readiness.
The organization moved pension reconciliation online to ensure consistent signoffs and secure storage.
The plan administrator (often an HR director or appointed fiduciary) is typically authorized to certify plan data, approve final reports, and request filings. Their signature confirms reconciliation and corrective actions have been completed.
A company officer or delegated HR executive may sign to acknowledge employer contributions and fiduciary oversight; third‑party administrators may countersign for recordkeeping confirmation.
