408(b)(2) and Plan Sponsors
| |
| |
By Fred Reish, Partner/Chair, Fiduciary Services ERISA Team at Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP
My law firm recently published a bulletin about the responsibilities of plan sponsors, as the "responsible plan fiduciaries," for reviewing the 408(b)(2) disclosures of covered service providers. While many plan sponsors and almost all advisers understand that fiduciaries must evaluate the compensation of service providers to ensure that it is reasonable, there are other requirements that are less well understood. For example, there is a requirement that plan sponsors review the disclosures as soon as reasonable to determine whether they have received disclosures from all of the covered service providers and whether the disclosures are complete (that is, whether they include all of the required information). And it appears that at least part of the review needs to be done by the end of August.
