Event Synopsis:
As 403(b) regulations tighten and financial markets fluctuate, nonprofit organizations are under greater scrutiny. The IRS issued final regulations that updated and consolidated over 40 years of regulatory guidance, and the Department of Labor (DOL) expanded the Form 5500 reporting and audit requirements. While nonprofit plan sponsors have moved forward with updating their plan documents to comply with the new regulations, many are still concerned about their new fiduciary responsibilities and establishing compliance procedures. It’s crucial for nonprofit plan sponsors to understand their new fiduciary responsibilities and to have a due diligence process in place to reduce risk and limit or mitigate fiduciary liability.
