What do you need to create your annual report?

In creating your annual report your organisation will have a number of mine fields to navigate through depending on the legislation or regulations in your local area. In the US annual reports are usually compiled in compliance with the IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) and/or the domestic GAAP (Generally Acceptable Accounting Practices) including domestic legislation like SOX( Sarbanes-Oxley). Check your local government agency for information relevant to your country's legislation and regulations.

The IFRS has been adopted by countries such as United States, Australia, Japan, Canada, European Union, Pakistan, Russia, Turkey, Hong Kong, Singapore and India.

What is an annual report?

All publicly traded companies are required by the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) in the United States to publish certain financial data annually.
Most other countries have similar organisations to look after this, such as ASIC (Australian Securities and Investments Commission) for Australia.

The annual report is a publication that is distributed by these publicly traded companies to their shareholders which covers the previous year’s proceedings.

Some of the common sections covered in annual reports are:

 Letter from the chairman (or CEO) to the shareholders
 Financial Highlights
 Balance Sheets
 Auditor’s report on corporate governance
 Profit and Loss Statements
 New Business
 Year in Review
 Projections
 Outstanding Shares of Stock and Complete list of Board Members
 Income statement
 Corporate governance
 Mission statement
 CEO’s report
 Chairman’s report

Annual Reports are a great way to familiarise yourself with a company before you invest, because this information is audited and required by the SEC, ASIC or equivalent local government agency.
