An ARC accredited agent can load IAR BOS files into which back office system?

• A. ARC's central back-office platform.
• B. Their own vendor's or Global Distribution System's back office system.
• C. Any third-party cloud service.
• D. Only the agent's local computer.

Answer: (B)

IAR BOS files are meant to be loaded into the agency’s own back-office environment—the back-office system provided by the agency’s software vendor or by the Global Distribution System (GDS) they use. This ensures the data can be properly posted, reconciled, and reflected in ARC settlements within the agency’s accounting workflows. ARC’s central back-office platform isn’t the target for loading these files, and loading them to a generic third-party cloud service or just a local computer wouldn’t connect to the agency’s settlement processes. So the correct destination is the agent’s vendor back-office or the GDS back-office.
