Push of a button flow-charting, step-by-step guidance, best practices and customizable templates and forms all work to ease your compliance burden and reduce disclosure risk. 

Identification of Named Executive Officers (NEOs)

This solution provides clear direction and legislation background on how to identify your three NEOs (other than the CEO and CFO), whose compensation is required for disclosure.  This is no simple task, as all compensation elements need to be considered, and the three NEOs can change year over year, creating the need to track compensation of the whole executive team.

Drafting the Summary Compensation Table and Roll-up Tables

The product provides templates and walks you through  the preparation of the expanded tabular disclosures including the Summary Compensation Table, and supporting tables and processes such as:
  • Value on Pay-Out or Vesting of Incentive Plan Awards
  • Outstanding Share Awards and Option Awards
  • Retirement Plan Benefits
  • Other tables
