Feb 2009  

In this newsletter, we look at the following topics:
  
Beginners' guide to share-based payments and stock option repricings (modifications): benefits and accounting implications
    
Companies have been using shares, options and bonuses based on movements in the share price for many years to pay employees and to acquire goods and services.  HKFRS 2 sets out guidelines on how to measure and account for all forms of share-based payment.
    
This newsletter is divided into two parts:

  • It explores the why's and wherefore's of share-based payments and gives an overview of the accounting; and
  • It provides a further insight of stock option repricings and modifications with a focus on both their benefits and their accounting implications.
