Integrated reporting in corporate communication is a process that results in improved communication, most visibly an ‘integrated report,’ about value creation over time. An integrated report is a concise communication about how an organization’s strategy, governance, performance, and prospects lead to the creation of value over the short, medium, and long term. It represents the integrated summarization of a company’s performance in terms of both financial and other relevant information. Integrated reporting provides greater context for performance data, clarifies how relevant information fits into operations or a business, and may help make decision making better in the long-term.
The aim and scope of this book is to provide readers with an overview and analysis of the topics of both integrated financial reporting and a multiple capital model. Analyzing this topic through both a qualitative and quantitative framework, this important business topic is introduced and framed in the context of current market trends, while also including implications for business management professionals. This book provides a thorough examination of the topics of integrated reporting, management ramifications, and opportunities for management professionals. This easy to read and understand book provides numerous take away points, action items and implications. It includes real world examples, sources where more information can be obtained, and direct cause-to-effect examples, making it a valuable resource for readers.
