NEW YORK, June 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory U.S., the market's leading provider of content and solutions for pension and employee benefits professionals, recently kicked off a unique series of expert educational panels focused on Form 5500, the mechanism by which employee benefit plans satisfy the annual reporting requirements set forth in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and the Internal Revenue Code.
The ftwilliam.com series began with a June 1 webinar, "Form 5500: Everything You Need to Know but Were Afraid to Ask."
