Preparing for CEO Pay Ratio Disclosure


February 1, 2018
2:00pm - 3:00pm Eastern Time

More than seven years after the passage of the Dodd-Frank Act, U.S. companies are preparing for one of the law’s most controversial and costly provisions – the CEO pay ratio disclosure rule. As this mandate starts to go into effect ahead of the 2018 proxy season, companies will need to think through the effects that the disclosure will have on different audiences and stakeholders – not just investors, but the media and employees as well. IROs will need to be prepared to handle their company’s messaging around this disclosure.

Learning Objectives:
  • Understand the key provisions of the rule – what must be disclosed and the methodologies that can be used to calculate the ratio
  • Understand potential messaging challenges and how to navigate them
  • Learn to identify and anticipate the questions that various stakeholders may have and how to prepare for these in advance
