This product covers significant changes in executive compensation relating to taxation of nonqualified deferred compensation under section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, enacted in 2004. The changes wrought by section 409A now dominate the tax landscape of nonqualified deferred compensation. Section 409A strictly regulates compensation paid on a deferred basis to employees, directors, and many other service providers.
I tried reading this straight through. The early chapters are accessible, but the later chapters become fairly convoluted. I later took a university class that used this text book and the instructions of a professor, as well as the direction of homework assignments and a testable curriculum made this book easier to digest.
Not recommended if you're simply interested in the subject. I would assume that there are better books out there.
