As an ERISA attorney with a national practice of plan sponsor and retirement plan provider clients (cheap plug here), I hear so many excuses as to why plan sponsors don’t want to take a look at their retirement plan. There are tons of excuses that they tell their current or prospective plan provider why there is no need to look at their retirement plan and these excuses are nonsensical when you look at the heap of trouble a plan sponsor can be in if they don’t take care of their retirement plan. So this article is about plan sponsor excuses why they don’t take a look at their retirement plan and why those excuses are lame.
