Report Leadership
Report leadership, a multi-stakeholder group, focused on the annual report to develop simple, practical ways to improve narrative and financial reporting to the capital markets. Reflecting input from a range of investors, the publication outlines some far-reaching, yet practical, ideals for improving the content of annual reports and other communications. These ideas have been received very positively, not least by the UK Hundred Group of Finance Directors.
The contributors to this initiative are the Chartered Institute of Management Accounts (CIMA), PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Radley Yeldar and Tomkins plc. |
