	Deadlines for the new 401(k) and 403(b) plan fee disclosure requirements are upon us. After months of delays, employers now must comply with these rules or risk violating their fiduciary duties, thereby exposing themselves to personal liability. What are businesses doing to evaluate their practices and maintain compliance with these new regulations? Who is responsible for preparing and distributing these disclosures? Join us for a 90-minute webinar in which we'll address these and other questions. Program Highlights: Participant Fee Disclosure Requirements: What impact will the new DOL fee disclosure regulations have on your plan? What steps should you take to comply? How can you establish protocols for responding to employee questions? Service-Provider Disclosure Rules How do the service-provider regulations change the way you'll work with 401(k) and 403(b) vendors? What should you expect from service providers in 2012? Are there tools you can use to negotiate new service agreements with your providers?
