Eleven Good Reasons to
join the NASPP today:
- Option Expensing—Comprehensive Resources: With option expensing upon
us, the NASPP’s guidance and resources will be critical. We’ve already offered
four webcasts on the standard (featuring three FASB representatives) and our
Stock Plan Expensing portal right now has more than 60 articles on the standard,
a dedicated FAS 123(R) Q&A Forum, and is continually updated by our task force
of leading practitioners. Also, don’t miss our online course “Practical
Implementation of FAS 123(R),” a one-stop source for everything you need to
know about FAS 123(R).
- The Latest on Deferred Compensation:
Don’t try to navigate the complex new requirements that apply to deferred compensation on your own. The NASPP has presented three webcasts on this legislation and our portal on the Deferred Compensation Legislation features over 100 articles and client memos on the legislation and
Treasury’s subsequent guidance—here, too, we will be the source for critical ongoing guidance.
- Practical Guidance on the SEC’s New Executive Compensation Disclosures:
Our portal on the SEC’s executive compensation disclosures features well over
100 articles and memos on the new regulations, including updates on the latest
SEC rule-making and interpretations, common questions and answers, and best
practices.
- The Complete Source on Stock SARs: If you haven’t yet looked at stock-settled stock appreciation rights, you will soon—we expect them to replace
virtually all traditional stock option programs. The NASPP will be the source
for information on stock-settled SARs—and everything you
will need for actual implementation in the months ahead.
- Up-to-the-Minute News and Guidance: Every new year brings a
confluence of change to stock compensation in the form of ever-increasing
scrutiny, new tax and securities regulations, and new accounting developments.
The NASPP keeps you current on the latest developments with Regulatory,
Practice, and International Alerts; our bi-monthly newsletter, The NASPP
Advisor; and frequent webcasts on important, timely topics.
- Unbeatable Networking and Peer-to-Peer Guidance: The NASPP offers
unparalleled opportunities for networking. Our members share their own
experiences and expertise through over 30 local chapters, our interactive (and
very popular) Q&A discussion forums, an extensive online document library, and
our Annual Conference. Our newly announced
National Committees on Plan Design, Administration, and Compliance
Practices create even more opportunities for peer-to-peer guidance.
- Industry-Leading Conference: Attended by over 2,000 industry
professionals, the NASPP Annual Conference is the premier event for stock plan
professionals. The rapidly shifting regulatory landscape we are now experiencing
will make this year’s conference our most important to date.
- Defining Industry Trends: The NASPP’s Stock Plan Design Survey is the
industry’s most comprehensive analysis of stock plan design and practices,
covering stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, employee
stock purchase plans, and international practices. Find out how your stock plan
compares to your peers.
- In-Depth Resources for Global Stock Plans: Our industry-leading
Global Stock Plan Portal provides the resources you need to oversee your multi-national stock plans. The portal includes detailed guides to 25 countries (with more guides planned this year), an alert subscription service for over 50 countries, a dedicated Q&A forum with a task force of experts lined up to answer your questions, articles, webcasts, surveys, and much more.
- Expert Advice: We report what the experts are saying to you.
We reach out to industry luminaries, asking them so share their insights with
our members. We post the latest client memos, white papers, and other
articles on Naspp.com; our newsletter, The NASPP Advisor, regularly
features guest authors on hot topics; and we bring the experts to you each year
at the NASPP Annual Conference.
- Extensive Document Library and Specialized Content Areas: Our
online document library offers a wealth of resources, including model plan
documents, administrative procedures and checklists, articles and white papers,
industry studies and surveys, communication materials, and compliance memos.
Moreover, we’ve created "portals" that save you time by collecting the
information you need on specific topics. Each portal covers an essential
topic, such option expensing, deferred compensation, or year-end procedures, and
features articles, practice pointers, webcasts, and tools (such as charts,
checklists and timelines) listed on one page for easy access.
Don’t wait any longer! Take advantage of our
no-risk trial membership to begin enjoying these benefits today.
