Please join our pension and benefits experts, Andrea Boctor and

court decisions and regulatory changes that will affect plan
sponsors in 2012.
We will focus on new issues plan sponsors may face as a result
of new case law and recent changes to pension legislation, as well
as some practical tips for dealing with the fallout.

increased costs and volatility under IFRS.
