SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
In our post-Sarbanes-Oxley world, the compensation committee chair is widely considered the most difficult role on the board. The consequences of making bad compensation decisions can be severe, ranging from ill-advised legisslative initiatives to shareholder revolts. Compensation Committee Handbook, Third Edition is a practical, how-to guidebook designed to help compensation committee members make sensible and defensable decisions at all times. Covering functional issues such as organizing, planning, and best practice tips as well as compliance advice on the implications of Sarbanes-Oxley and other new regulations, Compensation Committee Handbook provides an indispensable, comprehensive review of the pertinent matters facing compensation committees. -- from dust jacket.
