Are You a Member of Your Company’s 401(k) Retirement Committee?

Do you know if your fiduciary processes are robust enough? As a member of your company’s 401(k) retirement committee, it is crucial to ensure that your plan meets the highest standards of fiduciary duty. Conducting a thorough audit of your fiduciary processes is a strategic way to ensure your retirement plan committee is fulfilling its fiduciary responsibilities.

Why Should Plan Sponsors Audit Their Fiduciary Processes?

Auditing your fiduciary processes is essential for several reasons:

  • Ensure Compliance: Regular audits help ensure compliance with ERISA regulations.
  • Identify and Mitigate Risks: Audits can uncover potential legal and financial risks, allowing you to address them proactively.
  • Enhance Plan Efficiency: Audits can reveal inefficiencies and areas for improvement, ensuring that your plan operates smoothly and effectively.

It’s not just about meeting legal requirements; it’s about implementing best practices that go beyond ensuring your plan is well-managed and serves your employees effectively.
