This updated handbook from DFIN provides a practical guide for public companies navigating 

  • the SEC’s compensation disclosure rules
  • anticipated rulemaking mandated by the Dodd-Frank, Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank)

It includes:

  • Checklists of common best practice elements observed in CD&As, and emerging ones
  • Analysis of risks related to compensation for all employees
