Pension professionals find they are faced with difficult scenarios that test their professionalism and at times their ethics. Morality governs individual and personal situations, yet not what our discussions are about today. Ethics are considered in professional interactions and can lead to legal considerations that govern our society as a whole. The retirement profession may present tough situations that will test professionals and their ethical decision making. Participating professionals will find this workshop interactive while exploring case studies that build on real-life interactions. Together we ll explore challenging decision-making experienced by professionals and paths taken to reach appropriate actions that may apply to any real-life scenario. Session objectives include: Gaining a deeper understanding of the ASPPA Code of Conduct and Circular 230; Enhancing ethical issue recognition skills; and Developing an effective ethics program for your business. Charles M. Lax, Esq., APM, Owner, Benefits and Tax Attorney, Maddin, Hauser, Roth & Heller, P.C. 10:55 a.m. 11:10 a.m. 11:10 a.m. 12:25 p.m. 11:10 a.m. 12:25 p.m. Workshop 7: Controlled and Affiliated Service Groups Advanced Issues RELATED EMPLOYERS NEED MORE THAN A GROUP HUG. Controlled and affiliated service groups provide unique challenges in how to design a plan to be adopted by one or more group members. Year-to-year compliance testing and plan administration is also complicated in these circumstances. This session will use case studies and analysis to help you come to grips with these challenges. Attendees will: Understand the complications inherent in controlled and affiliated service groups; Analyze plan design and compliance testing options; and Recognize traps for the unwary in this area of law. S. Derrin Watson, JD, APM, Attorney 11:10 a.m. 12:25 p.m. Workshop 8: Growing Your Business with Cash Balance Plans CE: 1 ERPA, ASPPA Interested in growing your business? Cash Balance and Defined Benefit plans can provide an opportunity if you understand how they work and when to present them. This session will be real-world and practical, not actuarial or techie. This session will go over the basics as well as plan design and how they can boost tax-qualified retirement savings for business owners. Key takeaways from this session will be: A better understanding of what cash balance and defined benefit plans can offer your clients; An improved ability to identify prospects, within both an existing book of business and outside sources; and Enhanced client communication and plan design skills to produce better results for clients. Lorraine Dorsa, MSPA, Actuary, Aegis Pension Services, Inc. 12:25 p.m. 1:45 p.m ASPPA CONFERENCE: CINCINNATI 5

6 Luncheon with Speaker: The Next Big Thing Karyn B. Dzurisin, QPA, QKA, Regional Vice President, American Funds 1:50 p.m. 3:05 p.m. 1:50 p.m. 3:05 p.m. Workshop 9: The Trials and Tribulations of the Conflicted Advice Regulation The new definition of fiduciary investment advice took effect depending on timing on June 9, 2017, even though the Department of labor (DOL) is in the midst of a review of the regulation ordered by the President. A transition period under the Best Interest Contract Exemption (BICE) expires on December 31, 2017, further complicating compliance. What will this all mean for retirement professionals and plan sponsors? This session will explore the latest developments in the regulation, its enforcement and potential legislative changes. Attendees will: Analyze how the rule is working and the potential for modifications; Learn about DOL education and enforcement activities; and Be prepared for the road ahead. Ilene H. Ferenczy, Esq., CPC, APA, Managing Partner, Ferenczy Benefits Law Center LLP 3:05 p.m. 3:20 p.m. 3:20 p.m. 5:00 p.m. General Session 5: Ask the Experts Ilene H. Ferenczy, Esq., CPC, APA, Ferenczy Benefits Law Center, LLP Robert M. Kaplan, CPC, QPA, CFP, APA, VP, National Training Consultant, Voya Financial Craig P. Hoffman, Esq., APM, General Counsel, American Retirement Association 3:30 p.m. CONFERENCE ADJOURNS 1:50 p.m. 3:05 p.m. Workshop 10: The Not So Hard Facts on Hardships & Loans Some of the biggest compliance challenges facing TPAs arise out of two of the most common plan events: hardship distributions and participant loans. Whether it is the recent IRS examination guidelines regarding hardships, or the consequences of missed loan payments, TPA s need to be up to date with appropriate policies and procedures to ensure their client s continued plan compliance. Learning objec tives: To recognize what constitutes a legitimate hardship eligible for a distribution under the plan. To understand what sufficient proof of hardship will withstand scrutiny in the event of an audit. To be able to evaluate what hardship distribution provisions are suitable for a particular plan. Offset loan, multiple loans, loan interest, and consolidation. Do I deem the loan or default it? How are multiple missed payments handle, what if the loan s not timely deemed/defaulted and I cross over into a new plan year Robert M.
