Each year our auditors McElhaney & DiClaudio, P.C., in connection with our financial statements, confirms the remittances that an employer made during that stated period to the Carpenters' Contribution Trust Account. If your company has been selected you will receive a cover letter explaining the confirmation purpose, reports by contracts and a summary page.
The cover letter is the page that you will submit to McElhaney & DiClaudio, P.C. Please sign and date it. If there are discrepancies note what they are and submit those with the cover letter. Click here to view a sample sample cover letter.
The report by contract breaks the receipts down by the settlement reports you submitted. You should be able to match your payments by period using these reports. These reports include the settlement reports and invoices /credit memos that were applied to the period end. Click here to view a sample page 1 or sample page 2.
