KPMG’s Guide to Executive Remuneration 2012 surveys market practice in relation to executive pay and incentives and non-executive directors’ fees in FTSE 350 companies over the past 12 months.

 

Executive remuneration has remained high on the agenda this year.  There have been two main drivers for this.  First, in a process instigated and led by Vince Cable, there has been the development of a wave of new regulation intended to empower shareholders through greater transparency and a binding vote on remuneration.  This has yet to be finalised, but is expected to take effect from October 2013.  Secondly, at a number of companies, shareholders have expressed dissatisfaction with aspects of executive pay – since termed the ‘shareholder spring’.

 

Against this backdrop KPMG’s Guide to Directors Remuneration 2012 looks at market practice in relation to executive pay and incentives and non-executive directors’ fees in FTSE 350 companies. It also considers the nature of shareholder reaction to pay and possible implications for the future.
