“Delay on options expense could cost companies dearly“: Craig Gunsauley for BenefitsNews.com reports. According to a study by Buck Consultants, a client’s best strategy may be to voluntarily account for the cost of options this year before FASB releases its standards since, after Dec. 31st, FASB will likely require companies to retroactively account for past stock option awards and restate previous years’ financial statements.
Note: A previous post (which you can access here) commented on an article at CFO.com which also discussed the same Buck Consultants study.
