Incentive Compensation: What Will Regulators Want to Know?
Telephone Briefing*

The Federal Reserve Board recently issued guidance on incentive compensation designed to help ensure incentive compensation policies and practices at banking organizations do not encourage excessive risk-taking and are consistent with the long-term safety and soundness of the organization. Other regulators are looking at these issues as well.

During this recording of the two-hour telephone briefing held on March 11, our panel of industry leaders will examine options you have to ensure your institution's incentive compensation arrangements, related risk management controls and corporate governance processes are effective and adequately protect the safety and soundness of the organization. The panelists also will focus on how to apply the principles outlined in the guidance to your institution's compensation practices. Get your questions answered by our industry leaders!
