Room for Improvement - The KPMG Survey of Business Reporting, second edition
In the second edition of the report, KPMG presents the main findings from a global analysis of the content of 270 larger listed companies’ reports, in an effort to highlight weaknesses and identify good practices in the presentation of corporate information. The aim is to contribute to the debate among companies, investors, regulators, standard setters, auditors and others about what is right and wrong with corporate reporting around the world today, and help chart a course toward improved communication between companies and their shareholders. Capital markets rely on relevant information presented clearly and accurately, so the clarity and usefulness of corporate reports have an important role in ensuring they function efficiently and help support a healthy economy.
