PLANADVISER Weekend Newsdash
Week ending April 6th, 2018

Happy Friday, readers! This weekend’s mailing focuses on the topic of Practice Management, and it begins with a question: Have you ever caught a Department of Labor fiduciary best practices seminar? At the last PLANADVISER National Conference, one adviser speaker urged attendees to take a day away from the office (or the road) and attend the “Getting It Right – Know Your Fiduciary Responsibilities” seminar. He highlighted that DOL speakers lay out in clear terms what their enforcement colleagues look for in records reviews and formal audits—and their priorities don’t always match up with what advisers and sponsors expect. For example, “process is much more important than outcomes.” Find more information below about the next DOL seminar, along with other helpful articles and research on the subject of Practice Management.
