Introduction

Annual reporting is the backbone to transparency, adherence and good corporate governance. In this session, we will unpack the intricacies of annual reporting, focusing on recent developments, legal obligations, and ensuring you stay compliant with the latest regulations and best practices.

With recent changes in regulatory standards and expectations around environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting, it is crucial for company secretaries to stay up to date. Failure to comply with reporting requirements could lead to penalties, tarnished reputation or loss of business opportunities.

You will learn to leverage the most current tools, practices and best practices when preparing reports that adhere to compliance regulations and you will gain strategic insights that will not only enhance your reporting capabilities but also add significant value to your organisation.
