>Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS): New Approach to Evaluating Executive Compensation


Presented as part of BDO USA, LLP's senseSM series, the Ac’sense 2012 Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS): New Approach to Evaluating Executive Compensation webinar continues our tradition of lending a helping hand to financial management, board directors and audit committees to stay on top of today's hot topics and developments.

This event is intended for our valued clients and contacts, including audit committees, board members, management, finance and compliance professionals of both public companies and private companies.

The presentation will be delivered jointly by experts from BDO's executive compensation practice along with an attorney from Winston & Strawn, LLP in order to provide an overview and discussion of the Institutional Investor Services’ (ISS) new approach to analyzing executive compensation and practical implications for companies in establishing their compensation practices and policies.

Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this program, participants will gain further insight into the following:

  • Understanding the ISS’ past practice and how that has led to the now current practice for analyzing executive compensation
  • How the new approach, both from a quantitative and a qualitative approach, assists in connecting executive pay for performance.
  • Considerations that companies should take into account when analyzing their own practices and policies for establishing executive pay for performance
