For Recordkeepers & TPAs

GPS partners with recordkeepers and third-party administrators to help create a scalable and compliant operational environment for Pooled Employer Plans (PEPs). Our goal is simple: help you do what you do best - enabling you to best support the compliance functions that keep the plan running smoothly.

**We don’t dictate your process— we help validate it.**
Our governance methodology is designed to uncover how compliance requirements are met across all operational touchpoints—without prescribing your systems or workflows.
You maintain autonomy over your business model; we provide clarity and alignment on how all parties work together to meet compliance requirements.

Think of us as an extension of your team—without the cost.
We support operational excellence by:

• Mapping end-to-end compliance responsibilities
• Clarifying roles across service providers
• Identifying potential gaps or inconsistencies
• Providing ongoing governance and monitoring

The result is smoother coordination, reduced risk, and a more predictable experience to manage compliance requirements

For recordkeepers and TPAs interested in demonstrating the highest standard of operational excellence, CEFEX certification is available. To learn more about CEFEX and review the Pooled Plan Standard developed by GPS visit the CEFEX website.

While not required, certification can help:

• Strengthen your credibility
• Validate your processes
• Provide an independent review of IRS and DOL compliance controls using a standard modeled after the CEFEX assessment process, which is based on the international auditing standard ISO 19011
