to assist investment fiduciaries in managing their responsibilities by promoting procedural prudence, consistent
documentation, collaboration among members and professionals, and an easy-to-access document library. Here at

the fiduciary process simpler.

KEY FEATURES
Document Library and Workbin
FCRC has two document retention systems— the Workbin
and the Document Library. Both serve as a medium for
organization and work flow management, and each committee
has unlimited file storage. This reduces clutter and provides
an easily navigated electronic paper trail than ensures clear
documentation and evidence of decision making in the event
of a challenge or review.
Workbin
The Workbin provides an online collaboration space for work
in progress. Minutes, agendas, annual board reports and other
items that a committee must have access to, can be stored here
while pending review, edits, and approval. Using the comment
tool, committee members can easily comment and collaborate
on all work in progress.
Library
The Library is designed for archiving finished plan documents,
regulatory reports, vendor materials, performance reports, and
other documents the Committee deems important. The Library
allows committee members to have easy and secure access to
plan documents anywhere they have an internet connection.
Calendar
The calendar reminder system helps users to keep tabs on
the status of tasks and deadlines assigned to your committee
members and important regulatory filing dates.
Minutes
The minutes template provides a consistent and concise
format for recording committee minutes. The template
allows for collaboration between the committee secretary
and consultant for a more efficient and streamlined workflow.
Notifications are sent out when minutes are created,
commented on, and published for assignment.
Agenda
The agenda template promotes collaboration and
accountability. It features the ability to create assignments,
attach supporting documents and make comments. The
agenda template provides an easy lookback to open items
from previous committee meetings.
Annual Board Report
The annual board report template enables the committee and
consultant to create a high-level summary of plan activities
that is useful in presenting to executive boards.
Consultant’s Notebook
The Consultant’s Notebook is used by the consultant to create
and maintain notes from committee meetings. It is viewable
by the committee members and serves as a way for the
consultant to share important information and meeting notes.
