View transcript

The recent changes announced by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) are the biggest reform to the UK executive pay landscape in over a decade.

In 2010 the Dodd-Frank Act brought about changes to US executive pay and there are several comparisons that can be drawn between pay regimes in the UK and the US. Some of the changes in the BIS announcement have already been implemented in the US, for example the shareholder vote on say on pay and applying clawback across all sectors.
