Forecasting and equity plan administration — how they go hand-in-hand

Accurate accounting of award expense is imperative. You want to ensure the impact to your financial statements is understood prior to issuance. To do this properly, you need to ensure the correct calculation of fair value and amortization over time showing the impact of these expenses on stock-based compensation. Fair value calculations must also be correct to forecast value at a later date.

It's inevitable you will get audited. Being prepared to provide proof that your expenses reflect true numbers makes this process a lot less stressful. The ability to drill down into your reported numbers and the calculations used in your financial reporting, means you'll be confident every number reported is certain and verifiable.

Ensuring compliance with US GAAP and IFRS 2 accounting standards provides certainty that your financial statements are accurate and easily understood. Avoid the concern of having to adjust or restate your financial disclosures by taking necessary compliance steps and planning now and well into the future.
