Akron, OH (PRWEB) January 29, 2014 -- Tegrit Group is pleased to announce that the control procedures and compliance for its Plan Administration Process have been verified under the terms of the Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 16 (SSAE 16) by independent auditing firm Bober Markey Fedorovich.
“We are pleased to again receive confirmation from external experts that our controls, policies and procedures continue to adhere to the industry demands set forth under SSAE 16”, said Mike Spickard, Tegrit Group’s CEO. “Only a handful of third-party administration firms submit themselves to the rigor of these high standards. Our clients and their auditors are assured of our commitment to the highest quality service and professional standards, and I am proud of the diligence of Tegrit’s hard-working associates who have created and implemented the many requisite procedures and policies”.
