Advanced Topics in Equity Compensation Accounting

Donald Rumsfeld famously said of the Iraq war that "There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't know." He got a lot of flack for that, but what he said makes a lot of sense. He should have added one more, however: the unknown knowns, the things we think we know that we really don't. 
 The equity compensation industry is highly regulated, with many pitfalls for the unwary. This book contains some humorous and painful examples of what happens when otherwise competent and responsible professionals don't know what they don't know and fail to get advice before taking actions that result in consequences that range from the merely awkward to the downright serious. 
 This book is not a comprehensive compendium of all the things you shouldn't do. That list could go on and on. But it does try to cover the most common kinds of problems that occur, presented in the form of brief case histories, each followed by lessons on what should have been done. The chapters cover the following subjects: 
 Plan Design and Modifications Administration, Process, and Policy Culture and Cultivation Communication and Education Technology Tax and Law Accounting and Valuation Corporate Transactions

The National Center for Employee Ownership: NCEO

This book is not a general guide to the subject (for that, see the NCEO's book "Accounting for Equity Compensation" by Barbara Baksa) but rather is an advanced study of some of the most important topics that arise. This edition includes updated commentary on the FASB's revisionss to ASC 718, which are staged to go into effect in fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 2016.
