401(k) Answers: Forms & Worksheets
401(k) Answer Book: Forms & Worksheets provides up-to-date tools for designing, installing, administering, and terminating or merging 401(k) plans.
Although it is designed to be immediately useful to the experienced practitioner, it is also intended to be used along with Aspen's 401(k) Answer Book. The arrangement of chapters in Forms & Worksheets mirrors that of the Answer Book.
401(k) Answer Book: Forms & Worksheets includes a BONUS CD-ROM containing most of the book's forms, flowcharts, and worksheets which you can customize for your particular plan or company.
