E*TRADE Corporate Services Raises the Bar with Launch of Cutting-Edge Stock Plan Financial Reporting Features

Apr 01, 2019 08:05 am
NEW YORK -- 

E*TRADE Financial Corporate Services, Inc. today announced a series of accounting-related enhancements to its award-winning1 stock plan administration platform, Equity Edge Online:

  • Expense forecasting. New features enable clients to project multiple periods of expense for both existing and hypothetical grants of equity options, awards, and units in a single report based on their own custom calendar.
  • Deferred tax asset reporting. A new suite of reports delivers high-level information for management and more granular views of tax accrual activity for accountants and auditors. The new deferred tax asset report uses a substantiated roll-forward, so finance and accounting teams can view tax adjustments as well as beginning and ending balances. Designed with mobility in mind, users can also tailor the report to multiple tax jurisdictions.
  • Business combination accounting. The latest functionality allows for seamless accounting for stock plan options and awards assumed in a corporate action. Users can account for both expense and tax accounting in Equity Edge Online.

“At E*TRADE, we continuously strive to leverage our digital ethos to enhance the productivity of our clients,” said Scott Whatley, President of E*TRADE Corporate Services. “Reporting and forecasting is traditionally a cumbersome and time-consuming process. With this new functionality, finance and accounting teams can now do so much more—and more quickly—than ever before.”
