ERI's Executive Compensation Assessor^® & Survey reports for-profit competitive management remuneration levels with the ability to retrieve and review source documents. Each of over 500 job titles has been studied over time (many since 1977). Data are derived from 14,000 US publicly-traded corporations’ proxies and 10-K annual reports (1994 to present), 8-Ks, loan and employment applicant earnings verifications, digitized public records including the US SEC, Canadian SEDAR® Data, OCR of US IRS returns, ERI Salary Survey's patented online surveys, and licensed UK, Canadian, and US surveys and datasets.

ERI research saves subscribers time and expense, providing analyses for Board planning of direct cash (salary levels and incentives), long-term incentives, stock appreciation rights, SERPs, benefits, stock options and other executive allowances. This research represents the largest executive salary survey ever conducted, excluding ERI’s Nonprofit Comparables Assessor^™ with 23 million incumbent inputs. Each is more a census than a survey. The Assessor is available in 2 versions – Professional (for US/Canada executive compensation planning) and Consultant (for use in SOX, litigation support, UK/Canada/EU analyses, and reasonable compensation analyses).
