Reporting in tough times

Come rain, shine or other climate change, the annual report remains a much-needed beacon for investors and other stakeholders in difficult times.
Downturn, credit crunch, from inflation to depression, subprime and mortgage mess, mergers, acquisitions, delistings, energy prices, food crisis, risk spreading, long-term sustainability vs. quarterly guidance, corporate responsibility vs. financial irresponsibility... These are tough times for report makers.
How did the best -and less good or worst- reports -and others- dealt with the challenge? The answers are available in the Annual Report on Annual Reports 2008:
> 1,500 companies from 48 countries were selected
> 500 reports were rated and ranked
> 300 picks were selected for 30 report attributes
> 200 report assets and liabilities were checked
