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

Inside fiduciaries for ESOPs have substantial legal responsibility and risk. Making sure an ESOP complies with the law and the plan document is the best insurance against costly legal problems, and at the same time it builds trust and credibility for employee ownership among plan participants. This book is meant to provide an overview of life as an inside ESOP fiduciary. It alerts the reader to the key issues, including ESOP basics, fiduciary issues, valuation, valuation scenarios fiduciaries may face, board-trustee interactions, and fiduciary insurance. Appendices provide sample DOL investigative questions, a sample trustee engagement letter, and a sample trust agreement. The second edition of this book adds a great deal of new material and is over twice as long as the first edition.
