Ian McDonald Wood, research and consulting director, FutureValue The past year has seen major changes in reporting, with greater requirements needing to be encorported in companies’ strategic reports due to the recent modification to The Companies Act 2006 legislation. Explaining specific aspects of intangible assets has always been a key area in the narrative report in previous years, so what's changed? The 'people and the search for transparency in corporate reporting' session was led by those who shape the reporting process. The IIRC works to ensure integrated reporting is embedded into mainstream business practice, the FRC sets standards for corporate reporting and FutureValue are content specialists who help businesses develop meaningful content and narrative in their reports. The session explored how listed companies are responding to legislative changes and how they are successfully integrating them into their annual reports to produce clear and concise documents. www.communicatemagazine.co.uk/humancapital
