# Mobile Equity Compliance Risk Self-Assessment

* Response required

Start Over

## Your Results

Low Risk

Medium Risk

High Risk

### **LOW RISK**

Great job! Your mobile equity program is at a **low risk** for compliance issues.

It looks like you have a good handle on your compliance risk. However, due to complex and ever-changing tax laws, many companies still find themselves unsure of what, where, and when to report equity compensation. Additionally, it is a time-consuming process to ensure equity is reported correctly, taking significant time and effort by internal teams.

It can be difficult to track and manage where all your employees are located, what actions are taking place that are creating taxable events, and when you need to report on equity compensation in more than one jurisdiction.

It is important to keep in mind that factors other than the ones identified in this assessment can come into play. [Contact GTN](https://info.gtn.com/equity-solution-consultation) for a **maintenance check **of your current mobile equity compliance.

### **MEDIUM RISK**

Your mobile equity program is at a **medium risk** for compliance issues.

It sounds like you are doing a lot right, but there are some gaps that need attention.

With a good understanding of your current risk status, it is time to create an **implementation plan** that will help you continue to evaluate and manage these risks.

This plan should not only include actions the equity team should take, but should also include **collaboration among your equity, HR/mobility, and payroll teams** so you can scale your company’s equity program to accommodate your US domestic and globally mobile and remote workforce.

It is important to keep in mind that factors other than the ones identified in this assessment can come into play. [Contact GTN](https://info.gtn.com/equity-solution-consultation) for a **risk review** of your current mobile equity compliance.

### **HIGH RISK**

Your mobile equity program is at a **high risk** for compliance issues.

Now that you are starting to understand your compliance risk, it is time to create an **implementation plan** that will help you alleviate and manage these risks.

This plan should not only include actions the equity team should take, but should also include **collaboration among your equity, HR/mobility, and payroll teams** so you can scale your company’s equity program to accommodate your US domestic and globally mobile and remote workforce.

Some of the steps we recommend include:

- **Prioritize **which groups are most important to bring into compliance first.
- Define what “compliance” will look like for your company. For some companies, compliance is a continuum, while for others it is an absolute. It depends on factors such as your company culture, risk tolerance, and industry. Choose the path that best suits your **culture and needs**.
- From a **resource **perspective, determine how many equity staff members you have internally and what their roles are versus what you may need to outsource.

It is important to keep in mind that factors other than the ones identified in this assessment can come into play. [Contact GTN](https://info.gtn.com/equity-solution-consultation) for a **full risk assessment** of your current mobile equity compliance.
