Executive compensation is a topic getting a lot of press lately. With CEOs and high-level managers capable of earning large sums of money, who is there to steer companies and individuals along the right path? The path implied here is one that allows business owners, as well as employees, to address tax and retirement planning issues in an efficient manner.

Since the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 redefined the nonqualified deferred compensation (NQDC) plan with Section 409A, companies are searching for answers on how to help their executives with ever-present tax issues and still provide attractive executive benefits for their top talent.

This presentation will go beyond the practical implications for current and new NQDC plans and look at how other types of executive benefit plans are affected by the final 409A regulations.

Using case studies, lecture, panel discussion, and Q&A, a team of experts will explore many facets of executive benefits.

After completing this program, you will be able to:

• Better understand the impact of IRC Section 409A on NQDC plans
• Compare NQDC plans to other types of executive benefits, including qualified plans, split-dollar insurance, executive bonuses, stock options
• Evaluate various strategies used to fund NQDC plans
• Review the compliance and tax reporting requirements with clients concerning NQDC plans
