Mistakes happen. No plan is perfect. But no matter how mistakes happen, things have to be put right or the plan is at serious risk. This web seminar takes an in-depth look at the dirty dozen, the most common retirement plan compliance mistakes. The IRS has identified many of these as being frequent errors they encounter in audits. We examine what the IRS has said and why these errors happen, and look at strategies for both prevention and cure.
