Eversheds Sutherland (US) attorneys Brenna Clark and Meredith O’Leary present, "Assessing Retirement Plan Compliance in a Post-Determination Letter World," a webcast on September 28, 2017.
Historically, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has periodically issued letters to plan sponsors verifying that their plan documents satisfy certain Internal Revenue Code requirements.

In 2015, the IRS announced that it was significantly limiting its determination letter program, effective January 1, 2017.
