The first is a two-part Webcast on June 9 and 10. On June 9, speakers from the DoL will present information about basic fiduciary responsibilities and prohibited transactions and exemptions under ERISA. On June 10, speakers will present information on the reporting and disclosure provisions of ERISA and the Department’s voluntary correction program.
