Navigating Total Rewards Compliance in a Changing Regulatory Landscape

Going public brings a host of new tax and compliance challenges that impact not only equity compensation, but also the broader total rewards landscape. This session explores the most pressing issues facing newly public companies, including Section 409A compliance, 401(k) plan administration, election timing, next-day deposit requirements, benefits compliance, and the complexities of golden parachute and airplane calculations in executive compensation.

The discussion will focus on practical approaches and strategic considerations for equity, compensation, and benefits, rather than the finer technical details, and KPMG will provide perspectives on health and welfare, and 401(k) compliance, ensuring coverage of the full spectrum of total rewards. Attendees will gain actionable strategies to optimize compliance and anticipate challenges, regardless of their company’s stage or size.

Stay for the networking reception

The session will conclude at 5:00 pm with a cocktail reception hosted by KPMG at its new U.S. headquarters. Attendees are invited to stay and enjoy panoramic views as the city transitions from day to night while networking with peers and industry experts.
