Annual reports don't need to be so long. Compliance fatigue is no excuse for lengthy, unwieldy reports. Financial directors must ensure that each word counts.

Reports from the Financial sector
Annual Report on Annual Reports - Assessment
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.
