B.E.S.T.'s New IAR Course Help Advisers Fulfill Mandatory 12-hour IAR CE Requirements

NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. - Feb. 26, 2024 - PRLog -- Introducing B.E.S.T.'s 12 CE credit hour online IAR CE course: "Small Business Retirement Plans and Ethical Practices." This course is approved by the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) and meets the Investment Adviser Representative (IAR) CE model rule requirements.

Advisers are required to meet NASAA's latest IAR CE model rule requirements. The rule requires Advisers to complete 12 CE credit hours of IAR to include 6 CE credit hours of Products and Practices and 6 CE credit hours of Ethics and Professional Responsibility. In order to receive the credit hours, Advisers must report them to FINRA.

Course Summary: This course is designed to review and clarify the diverse business structures and the benefit plans available to each. For decades, the tax law has included special rules to provide various benefits or incentives to small businesses or to exclude them from a burdensome rule. Yet, the federal tax law has no single, uniform definition of small business. Instead, as recently illustrated by the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, such businesses may be defined based on gross receipts, assets, capital, entity type, number of shareholders or some amount of outlay, such as start-up expenditures. Even with the same base, such as gross receipts, small is defined with varying dollar amounts. Section II of the course includes the definition of ethics, specific ethics in the insurance industry, its history and regulation, unfair marketing practices and navigating ethical dilemmas.

B.E.S.T.'s new IAR CE course and staff are available to extend a helping hand to Advisers by assisting them in completing their IAR CE requirement.
