New Rules for Incentive-Based Compensation
Spring 2016
by Daniel J. Beck |
“In April, the OCC, Fed, FDIC, FHFA, NCUA, and SEC issued a proposed rule implementing Section 956 of the Dodd-Frank Act which sets restrictions on incentive-based compensation for banks. The goal of the new rule is to curb short term incentives and excessive risk. The most onerous restrictions on incentive-based compensation apply to covered institutions with over $50 billion in consolidated assets. However, smaller institutions will still need to maintain, document, and enforce incentive-based compensation plans which reduce the risk of material financial loss to the institution.”
