Integrated Reporting (including ESG)
Presenters : Nestene Botha CA(SA)
Overview
Historical financial statements are an important way of showing the financial performance and financial state of an organisation. They however do not explain the business in terms of value creation.
Integrated reporting provides the answer to this "shortcoming". Based on the International Integrated Reporting Framework, integrated reporting aims to show stakeholders how an organisation creates value over time. When combined with the ESG business review methods, integrated reporting assists stakeholders (especially providers of financial capital) to make more informed decisions regarding capital allocation and use.
