Event Synopsis:
Under SFAS 123-R, all companies have been required since 2006 to use fair-value accounting for share-based compensation, such as stock options. The change from previous accounting rules caused many companies to re-examine how they use stock options and other forms of executive compensation. The new standard also has been the subject of commentary and clarifications from the FASB and SEC staff regarding valuation methods, application to different kinds of instruments, and effective dates. With many companies’ shares now worth less than the strike price of options granted to employees and executives as incentive compensation, questions about fair valuations are being raised again.
The Knowledge Congress is presenting a distinguished panel of government officials and accounting professionals to discuss accounting for stock-based compensation in today’s uncertain economic climate. The panelists will present their views and reflections on the first three years of reporting under SFAS 123R in a two-hour Live Webcast.
