Whether you have boxes of old IRA folders or you have imaged your IRA files, it is always vital that you have the correct and latest information in your customer files. You never know when you may have to go back and access applications, beneficiary designations, contribution and distribution information, or reporting data.

Missing or out-of-date forms could result in the institution making a mistake, like paying out to an incorrect beneficiary or being fined by the IRS for missing documentation.

You will be provided with “IRA Audit Worksheets” to make this task a little bit easier, as well as a growing list of the most common mistakes you will find in your files and how to correct them.

What You'll Learn

  • What are the legal requirements for documentation to be maintained in your IRA files?
  • When opening a new IRA plan, what forms do we keep and which forms must be given to the customer?
  • What happens when there is no beneficiary designation in the file or the beneficiary is deceased?
  • What are the requirements for IRS reporting and disclosures to the customer?
  • How far back can the institution go to file an IRS correction (if it’s the institution’s fault or if it’s the customer’s fault)? • What kind of partial IRA audits are the most crucial?
  • How do we file paper corrections to the IRS?

Who Should Attend

This intense, informational 2-hour webinar is ideal for IRA supervisors, internal auditors, IRA trainers, and conversion/operations specialists.
