Fiduciary Risk and Liability Management Strategies

Presented by: Michael R. Callan CFP, CRPS, AIFA 

HR Managers and Representatives often play a pivotal role in the benefits package that is made available to the employees of a company, and a qualified plan is often a part of that package. To the surprise of many individuals who oversee a plan, they are often serving in a fiduciary capacity that subjects them to both responsibilities and potential liabilities. This presentation discusses various strategies and tactics that can be helpful in mitigating the liabilities that may otherwise be incurred. In light of the new Fiduciary Rule issued by the Department of Labor on April 6th expanding fiduciary responsibility this is a must attend meeting.

This program has been pre-approved for SHRM and HR Certification Institute Recertification Credits.
