ASOP 5 | Commentary Section 3.5 | COMMENT ON SECTION 3.5
Section 3.5, Follow-Up Studies
CommentResponse
One commentator questioned the removal of the requirement to perform testing of the reserve methodology.The reviewers believe the language removed was educational only, and does not impact any obligation to perform follow-up studies that may exist.
