Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Bill 2011
On the 1st July, 2011 the abovementioned Bill came into effect. It impacts directly on corporations that are Disclosing Entities. The Bill has a number of implications relating to recommendations on remuneration for Key Management Personnel by Remuneration Consultants. Specifically:
A remuneration recommendation specifically concerns the quantum and structure of the remuneration package for executives (Key Management Personnel).
Remuneration Consultants providing such recommendations must be engaged directly Board or Remuneration Committee.
Recommendations must be provided directly to the Board or Remuneration Committee and not members of the executive team.
Whilst these recommendations apply primarily to listed companies many other organisations are adopting the principles as sound governance practice. The fact that recommendations from remuneration consultants must be provided directly to the Board or Remuneration Committee does not in any way limit input by the Chief Executive Officer on remuneration levels and performance measures for Level 2 executives.
