IN-PERSON CHAPTER EVENT

ACCOUNTING FOR EQUITY COMP: TODAY & TOMORROW

Start the new year with a forward-focused session on how accounting and stock administration teams can drive greater alignment, accuracy, and innovation in equity compensation reporting.

Join us on January 6th for a hosted happy hour beginning at 4:00 PM, followed by the formal session starting around 4:30 PM.

This event features real-world perspectives from Amazon’s equity compensation team and explores the full financial reporting lifecycle—from the core mechanics of the annual close to the growing role of AI in transforming how equity compensation is managed and reported.

Andrea Bosenberg, Equity Accounting at Amazon, will share practical accounting insights, including key dependencies, common challenges, and lessons learned that contribute to accurate and efficient financial reporting.

Michael Sanders, Stock Administration at Amazon, will provide the administrator’s viewpoint, highlighting how AI tools are enhancing productivity, reducing manual work, and improving collaboration with accounting during the close process and beyond.

The session will conclude with a live Q&A panel, giving attendees a chance to engage directly with Andrea and Michael on their roles, cross-functional coordination, and how they see equity compensation evolving in the year ahead.

Who Should Attend
While this session is designed for stock plan professionals, we encourage you to invite your accounting and finance colleagues—especially those involved in close processes, financial reporting, or audit support.

This session is eligible for CPE credit for those attending the full session.
