CCH Presents Audio Seminar: “Fiduciary Responsibility After PPA 2006”

(RIVERWOODS, ILL., November 9, 2006) – CCH, a part of Wolters Kluwer Law & Business and a leading provider of business compliance information, software and services is presenting a 90-minute audio conference entitled “Fiduciary Responsibility After PPA 2006 – The Law & Its Practical Applications” featuring two leading experts in the field, Brian Costello of Genesee Valley Trust and Michael B. Snyder of Harris Beach LLC, on Tuesday, November 14, at 3 p.m. Eastern, 2 p.m. Central (http://hr.cch.com/audio/PPA-FUD.asp).

With the enactment of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA), plan sponsors have new opportunities and choices for their plans, but they also must understand and meet new fiduciary requirements. For example, should a plan sponsor utilize the new safe harbors for automatic enrollment? Are there alternatives that may provide a better level of fiduciary safety? Is it worth providing investment advice, and if so, how should it be done so as to meet the new standards?

This seminar is a chance to get comprehensive information on the significant changes in the fiduciary rules that have been impacted by the PPA. Topics to be covered include:

  • What is the new Fiduciary Safe Harbor for automatic enrollment into participant-directed plans under the PPA? What are the practical problems and opportunities? Are there any hidden costs?
  • Do the new statements required for participants increase or decrease the burden on the plan sponsor, and how the plan sponsor can meet the fiduciary requirement in a cost-effective manner?
  • Are you eligible for PPA relief from paying for an annual bond for your plan?
  • Why is it that “Everybody Loves Raymond,” but no one loves QDROs? What are the new coming QDRO requirements and the holes still left?

The seminar will include a live question-and-answer session.
