Executive Pay (2009x7)

: 07, 2009

Are executive salaries justifiable? A top executive in Australia can earn over $30 million whereas in the US it can be as high as $180 million. Business leaders argue that to attract international talent to Australia we have to pay top dollars to make us globally competitive. But can anyone’s job be worth that much? What results should an executive bring to a company to justify these salaries? Are Australian shareholders getting value for money? Join us as we bring together the major players in this debate - business leaders, board members, shareholders and Nick Sherry, Minister for Superannuation and Corporate Law, who recently launched an enquiry into this issue.
