Executive compensation
Abstract
Many companies adopt a short-term bonus scheme for their executives, together with a longer term scheme which may be based on share options. The performance conditions attached to these schemes generally relate to accounting measures (for annual bonus schemes and share options) or to total shareholder return (TSR) (for other long-term incentive plans, ltips). However, accounting measures can bear little relation to the creation of shareholder value; and shareholder return is not necessarily related to management performance. Accordingly, performance measures need to be balanced carefully, to minimize distortion.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
