Best Practices & Trends in Compensation Committees

Compensation committees are a critical element in corporate governance, as oversight of compensation matters is one of the key functions of a corporate board of directors. Corporate compensation matters have been an ever-increasing focus of investors, regulators, the press and the public at large.  This webinar will explore the role of the compensation committee in corporate governance, the basic duties and responsibilities of compensation committee members, as well as the recent trends and best practices on how to ensure an effective compensation committee. The webinar will also cover various methods of compensation available to the compensation committees, including equity compensation, perquisites and change of control arrangements, and will touch on trends in working with compensation consultants in developing comprehensive compensation programs while achieving corporate goals, as well as issues of directors’ own compensation and liability protections.
