The 2010 edition of the Executive Compensation Disclosure Handbook: A Practical Guide to the SEC's Executive Compensation Disclosure Rules, a publication written by Perkins Coie attorneys and published by RR Donnelley, is a comprehensive guide to help public company management, directors and general counsel navigate the SEC's requirements for public company disclosure and reporting of executive officer and director compensation, and related issues. The revised edition of the Handbook offers practical advice—explained in plain English—to help companies understand and comply with all the currently applicable compensation disclosure requirements and related issues under SEC rules and interpretive guidance through May 2010. The Handbook also functions as a complete sourcebook for these issues by including copies of all the applicable SEC rules, Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations and Adopting Releases, as well as useful supplemental materials.
