In this episode of Friday Fiduciary Five, Eric Dyson discusses the concept of preparing for potential regulatory scrutiny, drawing a parallel between military readiness and fiduciary responsibilities. He suggests that fiduciaries should assume the Department of Labor (DOL) could audit a plan within six months, prompting them to focus on defensive and proactive measures like updating plan documents and ensuring due diligence. Eric emphasizes the importance of both defensive and offensive strategies, including proactive participant education. He advises fiduciaries to anticipate regulatory scrutiny and prepare accordingly to mitigate risks and ensure compliance.
