Overview

The financial crisis and economic recession have brought executive pay into the spotlight as never before. The Financial Services Authority Code of Practice and the Walker Review both suggest far-reaching changes to the governance and design of executive remuneration in the financial services sector. But the issues are spreading beyond just that sector. Shareholder activism relating to the 2009 AGM round was not restricted to the banking industry. The Combined Code review and amendments to Association of British Insurers' Guidelines are likely to consider the extent to which lessons learned from the financial crisis should be applied across all sectors.

What does this mean for how companies should be measuring performance and designing pay systems? What is the impact on the remit and role of the remuneration committee and the governance of remuneration within companies? To what extent will changes emerging in the financial sector spill over into the general market?

Join us at our next People Agenda event to debate these issues, where:

• Helen Alexander, President of the Confederation of British Industry and chair of the remuneration committee at Rolls Royce and Centrica, will share her reflections on these issues and give a perspective on what companies and remuneration committees really need to be focusing on for next year and beyond
• Tom Gosling, PwC partner, will give an overview of recent developments impacting the executive remuneration environment and share some predictions for the future
