Summary:

Regulations adopted in the UK in 2002, and in Australia in 2004, instituted an approach known as "say on pay," requiring disclosure of remuneration in a report and an annual advisory, non-binding shareholder vote on that report. Sheehan (barrister and solicitor, Supreme Court of Victoria, Melbourne, Australia) discusses the policy goals, including curbing executive greed, improving board accountability, increasing the level of engagement between shareholders and company boards, and ensuring pay is aligned with performance. She draws extensively on interviews to look behind the rhetoric and examine the reality of these regulations and their impact in both countries.
