VCPG - 1 Reputation's Proprietary Methodology for Proven Results

1 Reputation utilizes its proprietary method – VCPG  (Value Creation Performance Grid) – to determine reasonable compensation levels that are accurate and defensible in the courtroom and during IRS audits. Our methodology identifies an incumbent’s market percentile base salary, incentives targets, and total direct compensation, which is then used to determine the maximum applicable R&D tax credit value for the year(s) assessed. This provides our clients with an opportunity to maximize tax deductions while mitigating litigation and audit risk.
