UK: SHOULDN'T WE BE TOLD? - DIRECTOR'S SALARIES.

Openness on director's salaries and R and D could pay off.

The principle of 'full and frank disclosure' has never been enthusiastically embraced by British business. Companies are required to provide information about directors' remuneration, for example, but the result is seldom full or frank. Many reveal what they spend on R and D - but not how R and D is defined.
