Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $14K. Schedule C does not capture every cost: fees netted from fund returns and fees the employer pays directly are outside it.

The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified), from an audit whose scope was limited under ERISA section 103(a)(3)(C) to exclude investment information certified by a bank or insurer.

What fees does the plan pay and how do they compare?

The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $113 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $13,530.

The sponsor is Royale Blue Hospitality, LLC.. Recordkeeping or administration: Benefits Plans Admin Services. Investment advisory or management: UBS Financial Services of PR. The financial statements were audited by PSV Certified Public Accountants. Form 5500 also names the plan administrator's signer and other individuals; this site publishes organisations only.
Was the audit opinion unqualified?
The filing reports an unmodified (unqualified) opinion from a limited-scope audit, in which the accountant did not audit investment information certified by a bank or insurance company. Unmodified (formerly "unqualified") is the standard clean opinion.
How current is this, and does it show my balance?
This is the Form 5500 for the plan year 1 Jan 2024 to 31 Dec 2024, received by the Department of Labor on 2 Oct 2025. Filings are due seven months after the plan year ends, or nine and a half with an extension, so the public record always runs a year or more behind. It contains plan-level totals only: no individual balances, contributions or names of participants exist in the data.
