Abstract:
Financial incentives are important tools for aligning the interests of executives and shareholders, particularly in markets with dispersed share ownership where investors struggle to actively monitor management. Today, however, there is widespread investor dissatisfaction with executive compensation, not least the role of the board of directors in setting pay.

This article provides practical suggestions to boards on improving communication with shareholders on compensation arrangements.
