SBC100 - Stock Based Compensation Accounting for Financial Professionals

The requirements of stock-based compensation accounting as described in IFRS-2 and ASC-718 are particularly complex for share based payments because accountants are not used to underlying accounting concepts. To address this challenge, this course goes beyond a mere description of the technical requirements; it explains the underlying concepts and their rationale via practical hands-on examples. These examples help the participants grasp complex issues including but not limited to expected volatility, grant valuations, expected terms, performance conditions imposed on awards, forfeiture rates, grant modifications, mark-to-market adjustments, EPS and disclosures.

Course topics include:

  • HR Benefits of Stock-based Compensation
  • Reasons of why stock-based compensation accounting was introduced
  • Types of stock-based compensation
  • Basic accounting principles of stock-based compensation - Grant Amortization
  • Grant Valuation - Basic Principles and Valuation Models
  • Grant Valuation Advanced Topics: Forfeiture Rates
  • Grant Valuation Advanced Topics: Expected Term Adjustments
  • Mark-to-Market Adjustments and Liability Accounting of SBC
  • Special Cases: Performance Grants Administration and Accounting
  • Special Cases: Grant Vesting Acceleration and Deceleration
  • Diluted Number of Shares with Stock-based Compensation
