ERI’s Compensation Comparables Assessor™ & Tax-Exempt Survey software and databases create fast and easy competitive compensation reports for nonprofit organizations. Compensation, allowance, and benefit analyses are based on industry, location, and organization size (revenue/assets/grants/total expenses) with the ability to produce all industry or selected peer comparisons. This pay survey software also enables users to retrieve source documents of comparable organizations’ executive pay and financial histories via ERI's databases (over 3 million Form 990 EOs/EZs/PFs) and allows comparisons to for-profit peers (all SEC 10-Ks and proxies from 1994-Present).

With over 200,000 unique organizations’ data, this is the largest executive compensation survey ever conducted. Each annual subscription receives 4 quarterly updates. Data is compiled by ERI’s optical character recognition (OCR) reading of publicly available forms, combined with data leased from both GuideStar and the Urban Institute. Utilized by both the IRS TEE and National Appeals Offices and State Attorney General Charities regulators (such as New York), ERI is a trusted source of compensation data in assisting those affected by IRC § 4958 Intermediate Sanctions requirements.

Over 200,000 unique organizations are included, some with historic pay as far back as 1992. ERI's Assessor Series^® software has been successfully utilized in US Tax Court since 1989 for purposes of estimating reasonable compensation relating to owner/employee deductions per section 162(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code. This is important because Treasury Regulations relating to intermediate sanctions (IRC § 4958) allow applicable tax-exempt organizations to create a "rebuttable presumption of reasonableness" regarding compensation paid to key employees, and allows for comparison to for-profit and exempt organizations. This compensation software provides trend analyses for historic reviews, plus the capacity to search, rank, and sort by industry, area, date, and/or size (assets or revenue). A graph of extracted pay data shows executives above, below, and beyond one standard deviation, enabling users to quickly identify outliers.

Subscribers can search 87 executive job titles based on the 1,251,368 compensated data entries currently comprising the database. This executive compensation software also provides access to the original source material. (Any of over 3 million Form 990s and 10-Ks/proxies may be downloaded.) Data are presented on interactive graphs. Click on a "dot" to view the source documents. Note: To retrieve Form 990 or SEC 10-K/proxy source data, the user must be connected tot he internet.
