Top 10 Most Expensive Mistakes

For today’s “Meet the Speaker” interview, we feature an interview with June Anne Burke of Baker & McKenzie, who will lead the session “Top 10 Most Expensive Compliance Mistakes for Global Stock Plans.” Here is what June Anne had to say:

NASPP: What will your panel cover?

June Anne: This session will address the top ten most significant compliance risks in the drafting, design, implementation and ongoing administration of equity plans and how to avoid them. This is a multi-disciplinary panel, and therefore some of the risks covered may be a surprise to even the most experienced equity plan professional.

NASPP: What is the biggest compliance challenge companies face for their global stock plans?

June Anne: The biggest challenge that companies face is that of adopting policies, practices and procedures that streamline compliance and simplify the daunting task of staying in compliance on an ongoing basis.

NASPP: What is the silver lining to global stock plan compliance?

June Anne: The silver lining to this topic is that companies and providers can learn from the mistakes of others and implement recommended strategies to mitigate risk.

NASPP: What is your secret superpower?

June Anne: Extrasensory perception (or a guardian angel). This ability comes and goes. It saved my life once.
