What do you want to learn about? An open forum for ECE members

Hi Dan: 

There is so much I'd like to know more about, but my top three are:

1.  Accounting for equity awards (valuation and expensing)

2.  Establishing performance objectives for performance awards

3.  IPOs - how to do it

Thank you~
