The Knowledge Group Has Scheduled a Live Webcast on The SEC's Proposed Pay-Versus-Performance Disclosure Rule Explored Live Webcast

New York, NY, December 04, 2015 --(PR.com)-- The Knowledge Group/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series, the leading producer of regulatory focused webcasts, announced today that it has scheduled a live webcast entitled: The SEC's Proposed Pay-Versus-Performance Disclosure Rule Explored Live Webcast. This two-hour event is scheduled on Friday, December 11, 2015 @ 12:00 PM-2:00PM ET.

Event Synopsis:

In April 2015, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) introduced the Pay-Versus-Performance proposal which would compel all public companies to disclose the relationship between compensation paid to Named Executive Officers (NEOs) and the financial performance of the registrants. The disclosure will provide shareholders a new standard in assessing a company's executive compensation relative to its financial performance.

Notably, the proposal would require companies to provide information in XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) format, which may ease evaluation of executive compensation policies and thereby benefit the shareholders.

In this two-hour live webcast, a panel of key thought leaders and practitioners invited by The Knowledge Group will review The SEC's Proposed Pay-Versus-Performance Disclosure Rule and help executive officers, shareholders, securities issuers, and more importantly public companies understand how the rule will affect their reporting requirements and suggest how to comply with the proposed rule.

Key topics include:
- Pay-Versus-Performance Disclosure – An Overview
- Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) Requirement
- Pay-Versus-Performance Table
- How Pay for Performance Analysis Should Be Done
- Why “Compensation Actually Paid” Will Show Little Correlation of Pay and Performance
- How the SEC Could Improve the Proposed Disclosure
- How Companies Can Supplement the Required Disclosure to Provide More Meaningful Pay for Performance Analysis
- Reporting Requirements
