SEC Pushes Companies for More Risk Information
The regulator pushes back on companies' risk disclosures and considers changing its related rules.

"The Securities and Exchange Commission has been prodding companies in recent reviews of regulatory filings to provide more information about the risks they face.
In annual and quarterly financial statements, as well as proxies, the regulator wants companies to give more details about potential problems, including risks tied to credit and liquidity, goodwill impairments, and compensation. These topics became hot-button issues during the financial crisis, so it makes sense that the SEC has focused on them in the comment letters that are just now trickling into the commission's electronic filing system." http://bit.ly/cxQ7zL

Have you evaluated the impact your equity programs may have on the risk profile of your company?
How did you perform your risk analysis?
With the ever-increasing focus equity compensation has been receiving, especially as a component of executive compensation packages, it is more important than ever that we all understand how our plans may impact too risky, and too safe, decisions and actions.
I would love to hear from others how you have handled, or plan to approach, this issue.
