Event Synopsis:
Among the qualified defined-contribution retirement plans that are widely offered by companies to its employees, the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) has gained more popularity because of its unique offerings. ESOP is a retirement program that can be leveraged and used as a corporate finance strategy. It also offers tax benefits and facilitates management succession. While ESOPs provide significant advantages, it is still imperative for employers and employees to be well-aware of its underlying complexities and hurdles to ward off potential compliance and monetary risks.
In this live webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders assembled by The Knowledge Group will provide the audience with an overview of the significant developments and critical issues with respect to Employee Stock Ownership Plans. Speakers will also offer best practices in establishing and maintaining an ESOP while ensuring compliance with applicable laws.
Some of the major topics that will be covered in this course are:
The ABCs of Employee Stock Ownership Plans
Benefits and Hurdles
Common Misconceptions
Potential Pitfalls and Risks for Participants
Significant Regulatory Issues
Latest Trends and Developments
Best Practices in Establishing an ESOP
