Event Synopsis:

With the growing concern on DOL and IRS regulatory compliance, valuation plays a crucial role in the successful implementation, administration, and termination of employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs). Whether it is a business with an existing ESOP, or a business considering the plan, both should have a firm grasp of how the valuation process works.

In this live webcast, a panel of key thought leaders and ESOP professionals assembled by The Knowledge Group will go beyond the basics and key concepts of ESOP valuation and will help the audience determine whether an ESOP might be a good fit for their company.

The panel will also discuss, but not limited to:

• How Does an ESOP Work?
• Basic Valuation Process
• The Advantages and Disadvantages of ESOPs
• Tax Advantages from ESOP
• Methods and Current Trends.
• Fiduciary Internal Control Guidelines for ESOP valuations
• Common Mistakes Made During Valuation
• Preparing for and Responding to DOL audits
• Alternative Exit Strategies
• Criteria for Evaluating Alternatives
