Overall, the speakers shed light on how COVID-19 has impacted companies and their employee benefit plans in an ever-changing climate. They spotlighted important laws and regulatory updates and pointed out helpful information to know and pay attention to, for example: new developments in coronavirus-related distributions. Then the group provided insight on how companies can make amendments with the best course of action. In addition, they offered specific observations about employee benefit plan sponsor considerations, as well as considerations of what auditors will be monitoring closely.
