If investors are freed from a belief in perfectly efficient markets, they will also be free to use their brains to question market values and to treat accounting numbers as evidence, not answers.

Reports from the Financial sector

Annual Report on Annual Reports - Assessment
Financial sector reporting

e.com has a solid track record in the assessment and benchmarking of reports from the financial sector. We keep on providing evaluation services to some financial institutions who strive for higher reporting standards and best practice.

However, for consistency, comparability and credibility reasons (chalk it up to the latest financial crises and other stress (°) factors) it has been decided not to select financial sector institutions for the Annual Report on Annual Reports these last years. This does not imply that there are not high-quality reports in the sector.
(°) Check e.g. the Eurozone bank stress test provided by Thomson Reuters.

Is your online reporting up?

Online reporting and IR website assessment

Is your online reporting up? Websites are increasingly used as communication channels to investors and other stakeholders. They supplement or even replace partly or wholly the traditional printed documents. They have to be reckoned with. e.com has set up two specific evaluation services: the Online Annual Report Screening and the Investor Relations Website Review. More about the Online Annual Report Screening here. More details about the Investor Relations Website Review, as well as a presentation of all report assessment and benchmarking services can be found here.

A report on capitalism

Capitalism reported

e.com's founder and manager Mike Guillaume wears two hats -financial reporting specialist and international economist- and has got good vantage points for watching companies, economies and economics work (or not). In the new expanded edition of his thought-provoking book, he reviews capitalism's deadly sins (and what's left of the system's virtues) and proposes a toolbox for reinventing a model.
