Making reports pay off
Report evaluation and benchmarking services by e.com
e.com has developed an international, independent, integrated and competitive approach to report preparation and evaluation. Over the years we have set up services and tools to help companies produce better -and greater- reports. Though the emphasis has always been placed on financial reporting and investor indicators, those are based on a well-balanced perspective blending financial and business analysis, short- and long-term performance aspects, strategy and operations, visual and textual elements, share- and broader stake-holders issues, information content and communication style. Evaluation criteria are also updated and upgraded regularly.

Annual Report on Annual Reports 2008
How will you report this year?

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.
