Curbing CEO pay: Courts, regulators alerted

Article Abstract:

The backdating stock option scandal could lead to serious implications, and shareholders could sue the companies involved in the scandal, while federal prosecutions are also a possibility. However, critics are not happy with the slow pace of enforcement against the backdating stock option and also, commissioners of the Securities and Exchange Commission have refused to charge penalties for people who exercised backdated options.

Curbing CEO pay: The issues

Article Abstract:

A discussion is presented on the huge pay and severance packages to the Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of public companies and the intense debate over whether corporate compensation is excessive or a product of market forces. While some experts believe corporate compensation is out of control, others argue that most highly paid CEOs deserve what they get.
