January 13-14, 2010 - The Conference Board

Farient Advisors' Senior Vice President, Todd Gershkowitz, shares insights at The Conference Board Governance Center, in collaboration with the Society of Corporate Secretaries & Governance Professionals, at a two-day conference on Corporate Governance & Compliance.  No other issue in corporate governance has struck such a discordant note in American society as the compensation that top executives, particularly CEOs, receive.  Today's developments in the compensation area include proposed regulations with a "say on pay," to "pay for performance" to compensation clawbacks, and whether compensation plans should create long-term value and hold senior executives accountable for their activities.
