Who are we?

enterprise.com
enterprise.com (e.com) specializes in report input, evaluation, analysis and benchmarking.
Our goal is to help our customers improve their “reporting bottom lines”, by enhancing report value, reflecting company value, showing investor value, and finally increasing stakeholder value.

e.com has developed an international, independent, integrated, content-based and competitive approach to assess and compare annual reports -in print and online- as well as other investor information instruments and market communication tools.
Our founders, staff and network have operated in 30 countries and consulted for 120 corporate clients on more than 400 reporting operations and customized reviews, from Amsterdam to Tokyo, Stockholm to Vancouver; from Greater London to Illinois to Hong Kong. Our clientele mainly consists of CFOs, IR officers, CC managers, report teams of listed blue chips. It also includes spin-offs, IPOs, consultants, analysts, design agencies and -private or institutional- investors.

A spin-off from The Enterprise Group (est. 1986, inc. 1990, liq. 1999), e.com is now part of U.S.-based Corporate Essentials, Inc. The company is independent and not affiliated with any bank, government, accounting, auditing or rating institution or professional organization.
With head offices and network partners based near major financial centers in Britain, Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific, e.com is in the loop on reporting standards, requirements and best practices.

ReportWatch
ReportWatch is the trademark -and the website- for the report monitoring, scanning, scoring and rating process that results in the Annual Report on Annual Reports. Created in 1996, and based both on e.com’s internal desk research and an external panel of reporting specialists, this survey of annual reports’ best practice is often regarded as the most comprehensive, international and authoritative survey on annual reports.

BEST ANNUAL REPORTS

Annual Report on Annual Reports 2008

How will you report this year?

What is your report worth? As the Nobel Prize in Economics Paul Krugman puts it "We are already... well into the realm of what I call depression economics".
In such a context and in the midst of the most serious financial crisis, reporting is made even more difficult.
And annual reports will be much expected to put things -and numbers- in a perspective that goes further than a blip on a trader's screen or quarterly results and warnings.
