Skadden’s Updated “Compensation Committee Handbook”
– Liz Dunshee
Check out this updated “Compensation Committee Handbook” from Skadden Arps. Written in a non-technical style that is easily understood & 120 pages long. Here’s an excerpt that explains some of the updates:
There have been significant developments over this past year to executive and director compensation practices and related trends, and those are discussed in this new edition of the Handbook, particularly with respect to human capital disclosures (discussed principally in Chapter 10), increased scrutiny of executive perquisites, and executive compensation in the era of COVID-19, as well as increased attention on environmental, social and governance (sometimes called ESG) considerations (each discussed principally in Chapter 10).
