Options backdating
Awarding employees with stock options those are dated prior to the actual grant date. The date chosen could be one when the company’s stock was at a low, so the options can be in-the-money at the time of granting itself. The practice is illegal if it is not followed by proper disclosure and related expenses are not recorded in financial statements.
