What is a fidelity bond, and does my plan need one?

A fidelity bond is a type of insurance that protects the plan against losses caused by fraud or dishonesty by the people who handle plan funds. ERISA generally requires plans to carry one, and a missing or inadequate bond is a common finding on plan audits. This is different from fiduciary liability insurance, which protects the fiduciaries themselves rather than the plan.
