Annual Report
An Annual Report is a comprehensive document that provides information about a company’s activities and financial performance over the past year. It is typically aimed at Shareholders, potential investors, and other Stakeholders, offering insights into the company’s financial health, business strategies, and future outlook.
Annual Reports usually include:
- Letter from the CEO
- Financial statements (Income Statement, balance sheet, Cash Flow statement)
- Management discussion and analysis
- Business overview and strategy
- Corporate governance information
- Key performance indicators (KPIs)
For example, a technology company might highlight its annual Revenue growth, new product launches, and market expansion strategies in its report. A case could involve a retail company showcasing its Sustainability initiatives and their impact on sales growth in the past year.
