401(k) Advanced Testing Techniques

Available through January 28, 2016

Speaker: Robert M. Kaplan, CFP, CPC, QPA, APA

Access the presentation outline here!

As a new year begins, it is time to put away the holiday decorations and prepare for testing calendar year 401(k) plans. It is too late to change the HCE group or current/prior year testing method so you must look at other options. 

This fast paced, interactive webcast will review the testing techniques of disaggregation, shifting, re-characterization and the use of QNECs and QMACs. Examples of each will be given. Our clients expect us to be creative and this webcast will expand the options you have for testing.

This is a perfect time of year to either be introduced or receive a refresher on these options:

• Testing options for 401(k) plans

• Using QNEC and QMAC limitations to your advantage

• Two different methods of disaggregation in testing

• How to avoid common errors that can occur during testing

• How to deal with post-severance compensation during testing
