ASHFORD ACC 201 Week 5 Stock Options Paper

• In recent months there have been many news
  stories in the press about executive compensation
  with stock options. This type of compensation
  occurs when an executive is granted the option
  to purchase the companys stock at a certain
  price sometime in the future. The theory is if
  the executive is effective his management skills
  will lead to a higher stock price. As a reward
  the executive can purchase the stock at the
  earlier, lower price and lock in an automatic
  gain in his shares. However, certain companies
  have been falsifying the actual date when the
  stock options are granted to their executives.
  Research this situation on the internet or
  through the university library. Write a 400-word
  paper describing the situation and the
  implications of the practice including any legal
  or ethical ramifications.
