Equity Administration and Compliance - A Closer Look at FAS 123(R) (Now ASC Topic 718)
About This Meeting
It's been five years since most companies adopted FAS 123(R), now known as ASC Topic 718, and oh what a ride it's been. Forfeiture rates and lattice models, accelerated expensing for retirement provisions, and all the different types of modifications - all were new to most of us in 2006.Add to that the newest trends in equity compensation such as performance awards and the latest demands by auditors, such as allocating expense for mobile employees and you have quite a stack of issues to sort through each quarter and year end.
Join our panel of experts as we dig into the issues mentioned above, discuss where we started, where we are now and our predictions for the future on each topic.
This session assumes a basic, working knowledge of FAS 123(R)/Topic 718 as we will delve into some of the more complicated aspects and minutiae of the standard and the challenges faces companies today and into the future.
This event has already taken place. It is available as a free Webinar replay in the members-only area of this site.
