New Nonprofit Executive Compensation Database



May 11, 2005 -- Due to the increased governmental regulation of executive compensation, nonprofits need to be able to document the compensation comparability data that they rely upon when determining executive compensation. The Internal Revenue Service has aggressively been making thousands of "compliance checks" of tax-exempt organizations regarding the procedures used to determine executive compensation. The breadth of information now sought by IRS agents is remarkable; agents are seeking detailed evidence of informed decision-making regarding how and when board members acquired and utilized compensation comparability data. IRS agents are even instructed to seek evidence regarding the variance between the compensation paid and the compensation comparability data relied upon.

At the behest of the IRS and to meet the needs of compensation consultants and board committees, ERI created the Compensation Comparables Assessor (CA+). CA+ was designed to assist the IRS in analyzing issues relating to excessive compensation within 501(c)(3) organizations. CA+ contains advanced search features that are particularly useful to federal and state regulators, as well as information that compensation consultants, nonprofit executives and nonprofit board members can benefit from. CA+ provides subscribers with the ability to analyze the entire universe of Form 990 executive compensation data for select periods.

CA+ is a user-friendly software program; the user simply selects a position, NTEE code, organization size and geographic area in order to analyze peer groups. (See attached screen of the CA+).
