Hilarious item on the NASPP blog yesterday from McLagan’s Ryan Gildner – here’s an excerpt:

The newly formed Data on Ratio Comparison Society (D.O.R.C.S) is pleased to announce preliminary results from a groundbreaking ongoing study of CEO pay ratio disclosures. According to Ryan Gildner, president of the Society, “This is the first study of its kind and uses an unprecedented innovative approach to evaluate the content of CEO pay ratio disclosures. We hope our data will provide a new perspective on this controversial disclosure and lead to a more complete understanding of its value.”

Using a proprietary 16-point qualitative analysis, the Society has identified the following disclosure to be the best disclosure to date:

As required by Item 402(fu) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information:

For fiscal 2017, our last completed fiscal year:

– The number of words comprising the CEO Pay Ratio Regulation (Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K) is 2,933.
– The number of words comprising the Compensation Discussion & Analysis Regulation (Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K) is 1,282.

Happy Anniversary Baby! 10 Years of Blogging & Counting…

Today marks 10 years of my blither & bother on this blog (note that Mark Borges’ blog and Mike Melbinger’s blog – are both over 13 years old – not shabby!). It’s the one time that I feel entitled to toot my own horn – as it takes stamina and boldness to blog for so long. A hearty “thanks” to all those that read this blog for putting up with my personality. I’m sure I won’t get more refined with age…
