The implementation to obtain and maintain Q.I. status can have quite an impact on an organization and is costly enough for most parties. The challenge is to correctly implement the agreements associated with the Q.I. agreement regarding identification, withholding and reporting and make adjustments as needed. As a Q.I. you want to avoid the risk of incurring extra costs as a result of fines or extra audits, among other things because the process from client identification to reporting to the I.R.S. is not (no longer) set up correctly. Extra costs or valuable employee time can be prevented by setting up the process correctly and making timely adjustments where necessary.
