Case:
You can use any retirement plan including your own.
Evaluate the employee stock plan or retirement savings plan (such as a 401K plan) of your company, or that of a company of a friend or relative. In light of Sarbanes-Oxley, does the plan provide sufficient information and financial protection for the employees? Do you believe that the plan, as designed, is structured in such a way that current employees will be motivated to greater productivity, and new employees will be attracted to your company? Describe feasible measures that would improve the plan.
Any sources used in the analysis should be cited following APA guidelines. Deductions will be taken for grammatical/punctuation/spelling errors. The following rubric will be used to evaluate the student’s case study analysis in the remaining modules.
