So, you’re an overworked CPA, CFO, HR Director or other “C” level executive and you are a member of the retirement plan investment committee… which means you are also an ERISA trustee. Few ERISA trustees signed up for this area of responsibility, and few have the training or time to become experts in the complex world of plan governance best practices. This lack of experience represents a risk to the plan sponsor, the participants and the trustees as well.
This course will help ERISA trustees to save time, reduce their personal risk, and fulfill their duties of care. A governance process will be presented which meets each of a trustee’s duties of care under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).
Understand the 6 central duties of care of an ERISA trustee: 1. Duty of Loyalty 2. Duty to Incur Reasonable Expenses 3. Duty of Prudence (Monitoring Agents’ Activities) 4. Duty to Diversify 5. Duty to Evaluate Risk 6. Duty to Follow Plan Terms
Establish a framework for the development and curation of a governance process that demonstrates the plan trustees have acted with care, skill, prudence, and diligence.
