Vier Beispiele für Integrierte Online-Berichte.

Mit dem Ansatz der Integrierten Berichterstattung wächst die Bedeutung des Internets als Publikationskanal. Online-Berichte können Inhalte einerseits in beliebiger Tiefe ohne großen Ressourcenaufwand abbilden und dabei als Pull-Medien eine Informationsüberlastung der Rezipienten verhindern (Reduktion von Komplexität). Andererseits untersützen sie aber auch den integrierten Gedanken der Vernetzung von Inhalten. Während nämlich in der klassischen Geschäftsberichterstattung einzelne Berichtselemente häufig isoliert nebeneinander stehen, geht es bei der integrierten Berichterstattung um die Verknüpfung dieser Inhalte – um das Aufzeigen von Abhängigkeiten.

Recap: Evolution of the Annual Report conference.

Motivated by the many recent changes in regulatory and statutory revisions in the past year, the Communicate Magazine organised a conference to discuss the “Evolution of the Annual Report” at The Brewery in London. More than one hundred corporate reporting experts from the UK, Europe and overseas followed the invitation.

Why online?

Ever since the invention of printing, probably no other medium has influenced our information behaviour as much as the Internet. When searching for specific information, the World Wide Web is the most likely place to find it. In the future of corporate reporting “online” is therefore no longer a question, but the answer.

Integrated on the Internet.

With the transition to Integrated Reporting, companies are now facing a paradigm shift and many unanswered questions. One fact, however, can already be observed today: with Integrated Reporting the Internet is gaining even more in importance in its role as a publication channel.

A Need to print Annual Report?

There is still a lot of confusion about what format is legally required for stock listed companies to publish their Annual Report in. I took this as an opportunity to research some regulations in main online reporting markets. I see this as an ongoing post and would love to add more findings coming in through my readers! So please go ahead and post your comments correcting my findings or/and adding requirements in different markets.

Sustainability vs. Financial Reporting.

At the beginning of October I wrote a blog entry on how DAX 30 companies are reporting about their CSR activities in the web. One thing I mentioned were the differences in how the activities are presented online. Quite a few DAX companies are offering a sustainability portal, which is updated regularly by editing the content. The consequence is that afterwards the previous content is not longer available on the website.

Online Annual Reports: Skip converting Notes section into HTML?

This years Nexxar research showed a remarkable development in online corporate reporting in the UK and US: A strong rise of HTML reports that incorporate the Notes section just as PDF. Is this a major shift in the perception of online reporting? Together with an increasing use of mulitmedia, companies seem to focus more on telling stories than reporting their business performance. A fool who thinks bad figures in economic difficult times might be the reason!

Reporting and Technology.

Summary of my early morning panel on “How is technology shaping the future of shareholder communications?” hosted by Further. As second panelist I had the chance to bring in some international perspectives on online corporate reporting. Beyond doubt the UK is one of the leading countries in terms of fully-fledged HTML reports. More than 66% of all FTSE 100 companies offer a conversion of their Annual Reports and Accounts into HTML. Main difference to their European counterparts is the marketing focus of UK online reports. Many companies spend a lot of money on integration of Video or Flash/Multimedia but do not meet basic reporting needs like a powerful search tool or XLS-downloads of tables. This is summarised by an atypical strong appearance of hybrid reports in the UK, where the narrative part is high end HTML and the financial statements are just for download as PDF.
