Workarounds Described

• manually reconciling FSA accounts annually after claim periods
• using Gusto reports without clear accounting guidance
• tracking liabilities in a register with incomplete entries (e.g., missing forfeitures)

Implied Software Gaps

• Automated FSA reconciliation tool that integrates payroll data and applies complex benefit rules
• Software that generates accurate accounting entries for FSA liabilities and forfeitures
• Dashboard for tracking FSA compliance deadlines and rollover calculations
