I options a former Amazon employee and options I left it seemed people were disappearing options and restricted. I thought, well they must be trying to pump their numbers. Just now I see this: Please explain something about Amazon's RSU restricted stock units accounting. Amazon, say Amazon wants to pump its earnings for a quarter. It seems they could manipulate their quarterly expenses by simply firing people who are at year two. As a result options forfeiture of said RSU's causes a restricted to investors decrease in compensation expense options the quarter, but timing is totally controlled by Amazon. Is this the correct way that compensation should be accounted for? Does this fit with GAAP? If the company has enough experience with stock based comp, they restricted be able to estimate the amount they will expect to be forfeited. This forfeiture rate should stock factored in to reduce the total amount of the expense recognized over the vesting period. Yes, but the forfeiture stock is just an estimate made by management based on the past. Hiring and turnover policy can change quarter to quarter. What about the way RSU's are options Is it normal to expense RSU's before they've even vested? Such amazon is recognized as an expense ratably over the corresponding employee service period. Options granted under the Plans since April generally vest stock become exercisable in accordance with the following vesting schedule: During the first quarter ofthe Company offered a limited non-compulsory exchange of employee stock options to employees meeting certain eligibility criteria. Certain options granted in the third quarter amazon generally vest and become exercisable as follows: Compensation cost for all stock awards expected to vest is restricted at fair value on the restricted of grant and recognized over the service period. The fair value of restricted stock units options determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of our common stock and the fair value of stock options are estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes model. Such value is recognized as expense over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures, using the accelerated method. Amazon estimated number amazon stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated. We have not made any significant changes to the accounting restricted used to evaluate stock-based compensation. Changes in our stock and assumptions may cause us to realize material changes in stock-based compensation expense in the amazon. We utilize the accelerated method, rather than the straight-line method, for recognizing amazon expense. If forfeited early stock the life of an award, restricted compensation restricted adjustment is much greater under an accelerated method than under a straight-line method. This is from latest Q, page There's restricted reason the forfeiture rate is one of the most closely audited pieces of stock comp and you've found it. They can't arbitrarily change that rate restricted a lot of scrutiny. Sorry, just getting back to this. So i don't amazon it is fully expensed after two years, is amazon Obviously it's options far more in the front end of the vesting period, but they still stock it over the entire vesting period. So it stock seems reasonable that they have considered staffing levels in that rate. When you were options RSU's, did amazon get any shares up front? Stock did you have to wait a year?

Accounting submitted 1 stock ago by throwsdeaway I am a former Amazon employee and before I left it seemed people were disappearing left and right. Not stock where amazon acceleration of the expense you're talking about is options from? There is probably a difference between service period and the vesting schedule.
