After sweeping changes in the global economic market, the launch of a new administration and the start of a new era of enhanced scrutiny of corporate governance, all eyes are on executive compensation.
More pay packages of directors and officers are being investigated as our government calls for greater transparency. The slow recovery from the subprime crisis and the increased wave in securities litigation also adds to the heightened scrutiny faced by all public companies. In addition, as of this year, companies have
to disclose to investors how they structure pay packages, and whether employee compensation packages are “reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the company” by encouraging excessive risk taking. And this year, the IRS will launch comprehensive tax examinations of approximately 6,000 random U.S. companies as part of its National Research Program on employment tax compliance (one of the agency’s biggest audit campaigns in the area in more than 25 years).
ARE YOU PREPARED TO MINIMIZE LEGAL RISKS IN THIS HIGH STAKES ARENA? AND ARE YOU PREPARED FOR ONE OF THE BIGGEST AUDIT CAMPAIGN IN MORE THAN 25 YEARS?
With no room for error, attend American Conference Institute’s Advanced Forum on Minimizing Legal Risks in the Design, Implementation, and Administration of Executive Compensation, which will provide emerging best practices and the current reactions to the changing landscape in ensuring that companies institute fair and informed packages that go out to their executives. The SEC, the Treasury Department and the IRS all have revised rules and requirements that attorneys and advisors alike must know inside and out in order to properly advise
and represent their corporate clients.
No other executive compensation program allows you to network and benchmark with leading in-house compensation counsel, including from Kraft, Covidien, Lowe’s, Del Monte, H-E-B, Crawford & Company, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney and many others. Even the most seasoned executive & equity compensation lawyers will gain clarity and certainty on today’s key risk minimization issues.
