Employee Stock Purchase Plans (ESPP) are company-sponsored programs allowing employees to purchase company stock at a discounted price, often through payroll deductions. ESPP accounting involves recognizing compensation expense for the discount offered, which is typically recorded over the offering period. This accounting treatment ensures compliance with financial reporting standards. ESPPs are a strategic tool for employee retention and motivation, impacting both financial statements and tax considerations.
