OECD’s Report on Board Practices in Setting Executive Pay
– Broc Romanek, CompensationStandards.com
I haven’t seen anything on this – so I guess we all missed this OECD report on board practices in setting executive compensation that was published back in August. Among the many interesting parts of this report is the UK section, particularly Section 7.1.6 regarding shareholder engagement. The UK has had say-on-pay for a decade – so the US can look to the Brits to see what might lie ahead here perhaps. Observations about the undue influence by a couple of groups and feelings of distrust and hostility do not bode well. Of course, maybe we can do better here. Hope springs eternal.
