OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE NEW CAR DEALERS OF SAN DIEGO

Pub. 12 2023-2024 Issue 2

Ask Alison – Is Your Dealership Compliant?

Are you 100% sure your dealership is fully compliant and not at risk of significant penalties and fines? Compliance is a constantly moving target, and the penalties associated with non-compliance are very steep. When was the last time your dealership had a compliance audit?

EPIC provides comprehensive consulting services and in-depth education regarding the ever-changing employee benefits compliance landscape. I work with our Compliance team, which continuously monitors critical federal legislative, regulatory and judicial developments to provide timely, practical guidance to our dealerships. We effectively guide dealerships through an array of complex compliance requirements. EPIC strives to ensure that our clients thoroughly understand their compliance obligations by distilling complex information into easy-to-understand guidance that includes any required action steps. We aim to enable our clients to establish a compliant culture that minimizes exposure to penalties and plan audits.

We are here to help identify and address your dealership’s compliance needs through:

  • Strategic Affordable Care Act (ACA) advice, including financial and administrative impact analysis.
  • Practical day-to-day ACA, ERISA, HIPAA, IRC, COBRA and insurance mandate guidance.
  • Client-specific planning, implementation, administration and remediation support as needed.
  • Tools and documents to address regulatory requirements.
  • Processes and procedures aimed at Department of Labor (DOL) audit avoidance, preparation and assistance.
  • Customized compliance-related employee communications.

If you would like more information, or a compliance review, EPIC will provide details to NCDA San Diego members at no cost.
