PLANSPONSOR Webinar: Provider Due Diligence

June 15, 2023 at 2:00pm3:00pm
Zoom

Join Verrill's Eric Altholz for the upcoming PLANSPONSOR Plan Progress Webinar Series: Provider Due Diligence. Selecting and monitoring service providers is an Employee Retirement Income Security Act fiduciary duty for plan sponsors, and the service provider market keeps evolving via mergers and acquisitions. Plan sponsors need to do their due diligence not only for the initial selection of service providers, but also when there is a major change. This discussion is about the changing provider landscape, what factors need to be considered in the selection and monitoring of service providers and plan advisers and tools that can be used both for searches and to document that sponsors have met their fiduciary duty.
