<prompt> Human: Hi guys, I wanted to get some knowledgeable opinions before taking this to my boss:I work for a small 50ee company that only recently set up 401k plans for its employees. The provider they chose seems small-time and has a religious bent, which made me wary at first, but I figured it was their prerogative and my decision whether or not to participate.Anyway, the first thing I noticed after participating in the plan for a while was that the Recent Activity summary on my online account was always lagging about two months behind not showing my four most recent contributions.Then I noticed that the numbers on my quarterly statements werent meshing just right with my own records. The totals were right, but the contributions and earnings didnt match up. After going through month-by-month, I realized that theyre actually reporting the two most recent employee employer contributions as earnings on each report, effectively inflating the perception of how much return Im getting on my investment.For example: say my total contribution is 200 twice a month. At the end of the quarter, my statement will show: Starting balance: 5000 Inflows: 800 Earnings gainloss: 600 Ending balance: 6400When it should show: Starting balance: 5000 Inflows: 1200 Earnings gainloss: 200 Ending balance: 6400So my question is: does this look like an intentionally deceptive practice, or could there be a perfectly reasonable explanation? Should I inform my bosses of what our provider is doing?  <response>: Ugh. Not nice. Good catch on your part.Im curious about the reporting of their fees? Most companies play games with that as well.
