Event Synopsis:
In 2011, the SEC adopted new rules that call for companies to consider risk associated with compensation plans and the participation of shareholders in executive compensation practices.

In a two-hour live webcast, a panel of distinguished experts being assembled by The Knowledge Group will provide an in-depth discussion of the significant issues in the mix including:
- Dodd-Frank Provisions that Impact Executive Compensation
- Review of Existing Rules on Say-on-Pay, Golden Parachutes and Clawbacks
- Voting Guidelines under the ISS
- Compensation Arrangements
- Developing Effective Compensation Strategies, Risk Assessments and Benchmarking Practices
- Preparing for Dodd-Frank Executive Compensation Provisions to Take Effect in 2013
The program will cover the topics above along with a Q&A panel in which the attendees will be invited to ask the speakers questions.
