Take Action!
Make Accounting Standards Fair!

Under current accounting rules, companies are not required to count the costs of stock options as an expense on their accounting statements, resulting in inflated profits and skewed information for investors. This makes the company look more profitable than it is—helping the corporate executives pad their pockets, while deceiving small investors.

Policymakers are deciding whether to require companies to disclose their financial health to investors by counting stock options as expenses. Act now to let your Representatives and the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) know you want the truth about the financial health of the companies you invest in!
