Employers can offer qualified retirement plans that meet the specified criteria of the International Revenue Code (IRC) and Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), or non-qualified plans that lack many of the tax preferences of qualified plans but are not bound by the strict statutory requirements. In either case, there are certain fiduciary responsibilities that must be met by those overseeing these types of plans. This course will address several topics including the administration of retirement plans, tax benefits, and plan distributions.
