BY THE NUMBERS

Finance Execs Make More,
Risk More of It

CFOs’ compensation increased 17% in 2000, but more than half
their pay consisted of stock options. The at-risk (nonsalary) share of
pay went up for other financial executives as well, reflecting corporations’
greater emphasis on tying compensation to performance.
