The disclosure process has evolved into more of an inquisition than an insightful set of data for investor/decision-makers. It has been designed to provide salacious half-truths, presumably to provide material for anti-free market media. Ensuring that perquisites available to executives are properly costed and reported is defensible and necessary, and some independent analysis correlating the company's measurable performance to how its leadership is compensated is an essential data point informing shareholders' assessments of management performance and how responsibly they behave. But the more recent impositions add no illumination to the process of governance, while enriching a vast new consulting segment and titillating uninformed and uninvolved observers needlessly.,
