Welcome.
The next several years promise to be especially challenging for community financial institutions as they develop and manage their executive compensation and benefits strategies. Consider the significant changes the following agencies have either already enacted or plan to enact in the very near future:
- TARP/CPP – New executive compensation restrictions and oversight imposed on bank participants
- FASB – Option expensing and pension accounting reform
- IRS – Section 409A deferred compensation rules
- SEC – Complete overhaul of corporate governance practices and disclosure rules for executive compensation
- FDIC, OCC, OTS – Interagency focus on executive pay practices and the financial vehicle often used to fund executive benefits, bank-owned life insurance (BOLI).
