Practical guides
Our guides have been developed in order to provide companies with an insight into how they might successfully meet the increasing demands for broader corporate reporting from regulators and the capital markets. These practical guides address some of the more specific areas of corporate reporting which we know management are grappling with.
Guide to key performance indicators
This guide is a practical publication that has been developed to highlight the increasing demand for reporting key performance indicators (KPIs). It addresses many of the questions posed by these demands and demonstrates what good reporting of KPIs looks like with a collection of examples, drawn from the UK and elsewhere.
Guide to forward looking information
The reporting of forward-looking information is a critical component of effective communication to the market. This guide provides practical guidance on how it can be achieved, together with examples from progressive companies, both in the UK and elsewhere, who are already adopting a forward-looking orientation in their narrative reporting.
Narrative reporting: give yourself a head start
Provides companies with everything they need to consider in addressing the increasing demand for narrative and contextual information from evolving regulations, guidance and best practice.
The Transparency Directive: periodic reporting requirements
This short publication provides pragmatic guidance for UK listed companies required to implement the EU's new Transparency Directive rules relating to periodic reporting requirements. The publication addresses key questions such as:
- What are the new reporting deadlines?
- What are the requirements relating to 'quarterly reporting'?
- What content might be contained in a typical 'quarterly report'?
- How can directors address the requirements to provide responsibility statements?
- What should the narrative report accompanying the half-yearly financial statements contain?
Business Review: illustrative examples
In the absence of any clear guidance on the Business Review, our illustrative examples offer an insight into the type of information companies might be expected to provide in order to meet the requirements (under section 234ZZB of the Companies Act).
