ONLINE WEBINAR: 


Ethics and Professional Responsibility

with Ilene H. Ferenczy

Please join us for a timely webinar – Ethics and Professional Responsibility - hosted by the Western Pension & Benefits Council Governing Board on Wednesday, December 12th from 10:00am-12:00pm PST. This webinar will provide two CE Units for AIF, ASPPA and NIPA members, CFP, ERPAs, JBEA, CPAs (CA and OR) and MCLE(CA).

The Presentation

This session is intended to provide practitioners with the tools needed to recognize, evaluate, and reasonably solve ethical conundrums. 


The first portion of the session is a succinct discussion of the Circular 230 ethical rules that generally apply to practitioners in the retirement plan area, as well as ethical obligations imposed by other organizations (such as the American Bar Association or the American Society for Pension Professionals and Actuaries) and by the practitioner's own moral code.   


The second portion of the session is a series of skits, providing the participants with opportunities to hear various hypothetical ethical scenarios, and then contemplate possible acceptable solutions.

Ilene H. Ferenczy, J.D., CPC, APA, is the Managing Partner of Ferenczy Benefits Law Center, an employee benefits law firm in Atlanta, GA.  Ms. Ferenczy advises clients on all types of employee benefit plans, particularly focusing her practice on qualified retirement plans, benefits issues in mergers and acquisitions, and advising third-party administrators of employee benefit programs on technical and practice issues.  Having become an attorney after more than ten years as a third-party administrator, she brings a unique and practical approach to her advice.  She is a member of the State Bars of Georgia and California, and holds designations as a Certified Pension Consultant from the American Society of Pension Professionals and Actuaries (ASPPA) and Accredited Pension Administrator from the National Institute of Pension Administrators (NIPA).  Ms. Ferenczy is the 2007 recipient of ASPPA’s Educator of the Year Award, and the 2017 recipient of NIPA’s Excellence in Education Award. 


She is a nationally known speaker on benefits issues, and has authored more than 100 articles for publications such as the Journal of Pension Benefits (where she is the Co-Editor-in-Chief), The 401(k) Advisor, and The ASPPA Journal (now The Plan Consultant).  Her book, Employee Benefits in Mergers and Acquisitions, an Aspen publication, is now in its 17th edition.  Ms. Ferenczy also authored three textbooks about defined contribution plans for ASPPA’s education and examination program, is the author of the Qualified Plans module of ERISApedia.com, and was a prior author of The Plan Termination Answer Book.  In addition to being a frequent live presenter, she has also recorded numerous webcasts and other e-learning tools for several organizations.  Ms. Ferenczy is a past adjunct professor in the College of Law at Georgia State University in Atlanta, Georgia, and on the Employee Benefits Advisory Board of the John Marshall Law School Center for Tax Law and Employee Benefits in Chicago, Illinois.
