What is the true impact of employee stock option expense?

Recent ISS research has found that the average S&P 500 company may report option expense under FAS 123R nearly 30% lower than calculated by ISS. As reporting season heats up, investors need consistent and timely data and analysis to help them assess the quality of companies' stock option expense disclosures.
