In the current corporate governance environment developing appropriate remuneration strategies to satisfy business goals, the expectations of shareholders and the legitimate aspirations of management has become a difficult balancing act.

New disclosure requirements for directors' pay has led to increased media attention, which in turn has raised the reputation stakes in correctly managing executive pay arrangements and communicating them effectively.

It is not only the corporate governance environment that is changing. The next twelve months will see the introduction of new corporate and personal tax regimes and clarification of the pending changes to pensions.

We can help you assess what these changes mean and answer the following questions:

• Do we need to readdress our remuneration strategy?
• How do we close the perception gap with shareholders?
• What processes should we follow from strategy to implementation?
• How do we minimise our remuneration costs through effective financing and tax planning?
• How should pensions link into the total remuneration arrangements?

We work with companies and their remuneration committees in tailoring effective remuneration strategies which support the business goals. We cover all aspects of senior executive remuneration, share scheme financing, design and implementation. We deliver more innovative, more reliable and more comprehensive advice and support in this area - rapidly.
