Excessive Compensation

Excessive Compensation is a compensation structure in which the remuneration provided to an agent significantly exceeds the normative, market-aligned, or value-based benchmarks that justify the economic or strategic benefits conferred by the agent’s services, thereby introducing misaligned incentives, moral hazard, or inefficiency within principal-agent relationships.
