Conference Explores CEO Pay and Wall Street Reform Law
Last year’s Wall Street reform law, the Dodd-Frank Act, established significant changes in federal oversight of executive pay. On Monday, Dec. 12, at the AFL-CIO in Washington, D.C., Americans for Financial Reform will host a conference on the new executive pay rules.
Those new provisions include a prohibition on excessive bank bonuses that encourage risk-taking by financial institutions. Other reforms include requiring companies to disclose a CEO-to-worker pay ratio and giving shareholders a greater say on top executive pay.
The conference, which runs from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. EST, will include two panel discussions, the first exploring the new “say on pay” and CEO-to-worker pay ratio and the second on executive compensation and risk at financial institutions. Both panels will include corporate accountability, legal and academic experts. Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the ranking member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, will be the keynote speaker.
