Corporate Reporting Research 2007

Corporate reporting has been under the spotlight in recent years, with widespread concern as to the volume and complexity of the global and local reporting environments, and the varied levels of transparency practised by companies.

For over a decade, PwC has been working with corporate management and investment professionals to gain a more complete understanding of the information needed to assess performance.

Investment community surveys

Our research program has continued with our efforts to gain insight into the views of investment professionals in major markets around the world, including Australia.

The views of the Australian investment community are presented in the report The Australian Reporting Environment: Telling it like it is, while the results of our global investment community surveys are summarised in Corporate reporting: Is it what investment professionals expect?

Further research

We have also published the following report:

Performance statement: coming together to shape the future - a study undertaken to better understand the information needed by the investment community to assess corporate performance and by the preparer community to communicate the company’s results.
