The 3 Cs of DOL Compliance The Industry Challenge DOL’s Fiduciary Ruling impacts the Financial Institutions in a way that requires them to provide additional disclosures to their customers that are related to fees, expenses, and compensation assessed on Annuity contracts, when financial advice is provided that would result in a charge to the customer. Carriers face the challenge to provide the financial institution with the information required so that they are able to properly disclose to their customer and remain in compliance with the ruling.
The 3 Cs of DOL Compliance Industry Leadership Position Using industry collaboration to achieve Complete, Correct and Consistent compliance information through data standardization and automated communication methods. After many months of meetings and collaboration with distribution and vendor partners, insurance carriers are poised to offer an industry standard solution that has been sanctioned by key distributors and manufacturers.
