Topic: Optimising your Corporate Reporting Formats and Distribution
Are we overcomplicating the Annual Report?
South African annual reports are among the most comprehensive and visually rich in the world. But are they too much of a good thing?
Many reports contain extensive volumes of information, overly complex designs, and sometimes even inconsistent layouts—making it harder, not easier, for stakeholders to navigate key insights. Meanwhile, interactive online reports often repeat the same formats year after year.
This session will explore:
• Striking the right balance—ensuring reports are comprehensive but digestible.
• Rethinking design: Clean, structured layouts that improve readability.
• Enhancing online corporate reporting to maximize engagement.
Learn how to make annual reports more effective, accessible, and aligned with best practices.
