Description and Table of Contents

Description

Executive Compensation and Financial Accounting provides research perspectives on the interface between financial reporting and disclosure policies and executive compensation. In particular, it focuses on two important dimensions: the effects of compensation-based incentives on executives' financial accounting and disclosure choices, and the role of financial reporting and income tax regulations in shaping executive compensation practices. The book examines the key dimensions of the relation between financial accounting and executive compensation. Specifically, the authors examine the extent to which compensation plans create incentives for executives to make particular financial reporting and disclosure choices. They also examine the extent to which accounting regulation creates incentives for firms to design particular compensation plans for their executives.
