Financial Reporting & Accounting Playbook: Winning Plays from the Pros
Our popular “Meet the Speaker” series, featuring interviews with speakers at the 25th Annual NASPP Conference, is a great way to get to know our many distinguished speakers and find out a little more about their sessions in advance of the Conference.
For today’s “Meet the Speaker” interview, we feature an interview with Kevin Hassan of PwC, who will lead the session “Financial Reporting & Accounting Playbook: Winning Plays from the Pros.” Here is what Kevin had to say:
NASPP: Why do NASPP Conference attendees need a financial and accounting playbook?
Kevin: This is something that all companies that supply equity compensation to employees need. Auditors place keen focus on the compensation programs based on the scrutiny from regulators and institution investors. We will help guide a company through the process to ease any concerns as well as potential problems with the process.
NASPP: What is one best practice companies should implement?
Kevin: When issuing equity, ensure that all parts of the company (tax, HR, legal, plan administration, accounting/finance, local management) are active participants in the process to ensure accuracy as well as no surprises.
NASPP: What is the silver lining here?
Kevin: You can correct some potential flaws in your existing process and help with your upcoming audit season.
NASPP: What is your superpower?
Kevin: None!
