Compensation Committee Certification (CCC)
Professionals asked to serve on the boards of for-profit and non-profit organizations are responsible for overseeing these organizations’ executive pay packages. Under intermediate sanctions, board members of tax-exempt organizations who make decisions about executive compensation are required to be knowledgeable about compensation, in order to make informed decisions about reasonable compensation. Sarbanes-Oxley also requires board members of for-profit companies to be knowledgeable about compensation in making decisions about executive compensation. By completing this series of one-hour online courses, these board members can earn a credential in compensation analysis.
DLC Compensation Committee courses teach:
-
Compliance with compensation and benefits laws and regulations
-
Board member selection and service
-
Avoidance of intermediate sanctions on tax-exempt organizations’ executive compensation
-
Determination of reasonable executive compensation in for-profit companies
Board members who have earned a Compensation Committee Certification (CCC) will feel more comfortable in making executive compensation decisions because they have gained a knowledge base regarding executive pay planning. This short and convenient certification course can be completed at an individual board member's own pace from the convenience of their workplace.
