Stock-Based Compensation Part 1: An Overview – Happy People, Compliant Financials

In this first episode of a two-parter, we review ASC 718, Stock Compensation, and accounting for these potential difference-makers for your talent acquisition and retention.

Show Notes

We all know why companies use stock-based compensation – to supercharge their talent strategy and incentivize performance and loyalty. But as Embarkers Adam Olsen, Sarah Cage Richter, and James Durrenburger discuss in this first episode of a two-part series, there are a few areas that can make accounting for them pretty tricky, including:

• Which stock-based arrangements fall under the scope of the guidance in ASC 718?
• Measuring the awards using the fair-value based method
• Vesting considerations and conditions
• Classifying awards on the balance sheet
