Prohibited-Transaction Screen

Screen plan transactions for party-in-interest and exemption indicators.

Description

Plan-transaction review depends on parties, transaction type and exemptions.

Plan-transaction review depends on parties, transaction type and exemptions. This screen uses caller-supplied facts.1

Screen plan transactions for party-in-interest and exemption indicators.

When to use Prohibited-Transaction Screen

Use this tool to screen plan transactions for party-in-interest and exemption indicators.

Prepare the documented facts, aligned totals or expected/observed evidence labels requested. Choose applicable requirements and thresholds separately before interpreting a planning screen.

How to use Prohibited-Transaction Screen and understand its results

  1. Prepare the documented facts, aligned totals or expected/observed evidence labels requested. Choose applicable requirements and thresholds separately before interpreting a planning screen.
  2. Enter partyInInterest, coveredTransactionType, documentedExemption, transactionAmount, reviewThreshold using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
  3. Read potentiallyProhibited, thresholdExceeded, reviewStatus. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
  4. If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
Input fieldMeaningValue type; see rules belowRequirement
partyInInterestCounterparty is a party in interestbooleanRequired
coveredTransactionTypeTransaction type is coveredbooleanRequired
documentedExemptionDocumented exemption appliesbooleanRequired
transactionAmountTransaction amountnumber; minimum: 0Required
reviewThresholdReview thresholdnumber; minimum: 0Required

Enter booleans and nonnegative amount/threshold. Investigate potential cases; otherwise party plus exemption gives review-exemption, else clear.

potential=party AND coveredType AND NOT exemption; amountGate=amount≥threshold

Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.

{
  "input": {
    "partyInInterest": true,
    "coveredTransactionType": true,
    "documentedExemption": false,
    "transactionAmount": 10000,
    "reviewThreshold": 5000
  },
  "output": {
    "potentiallyProhibited": true,
    "thresholdExceeded": true,
    "reviewStatus": "investigate"
  }
}

Limitations and assumptions

The amount gate does not alter routing. No exemption validity, legal prohibition or plan compliance is decided.

Numeric inputs, where present, must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors. A successfully returned false flag is an evaluated outcome; its meaning is explained above.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Use Investor Threshold Screen: Apply caller-supplied investor thresholds; the caller owns jurisdiction and period rules. For a complementary task, use Contingent-Fee Screen: Screen contingent-fee facts for attest-client prohibition risk.
