Annual reports are a statutory requirement for many organisations*. However, they can play a much greater role than simply complying with government regulations.
Capital Competition
Companies today, face strong competition in attracting the capital, (both equity and debt), they need to sustain their business and fund future growth. This is increasing the usefulness and importance of formal company reporting. Annual reports are a critical source of information that influences investment decisions in a capital constrained world (see More Than Just a Pretty Face).
Shareholder Communication
For many, the annual report is the only corporate literature sent to both financial institutions and shareholders, and indeed, may be the only communication shareholders receive from your company all year. This is your opportunity to connect. A well designed and engaging annual report will engender confidence and reaffirm shareholders belief in their investment.
