The Australian Business Reporting Leaders Forum is moving from ‘facilitating’ to ‘influencing’
“We are very supportive of the great work done by the BRLF in Australia to generate interest and discussion around <IR>. They have done a superb job in harnessing input and presenting that back to the IIRC.”Banarra Submission on IIRC Discussion Paper
■ Project of Society for Knowledge Economics (SKE) - president is Steve Vamos
■ Participants include CFOs, directors, sustainability officers, investor relations officers, ‘big 4’ accounting firms, academia and regulators
■ Regular face to face meetings commenced in April 2011
■ Strong support for the IIRC and developing a globally <IR> consistent framework
■ Calls for a fully worked conceptual framework – ‘what does it look like’?
■ Strong support for business model focus – operational guidance needed
■ Demonstrate that it is not just adding more reports – front end of annual reports?
■ How does it sit with financial reporting?
■ Does <IR> really lead to integrated thinking or can <IR> give the impression that integrated thinking exists when it does not?
■ Need to deal more authoritatively with the ‘commercially sensitive information’ and ‘director liability objections’
■ Strong support for investor focus
■ Facilitate the development of a global business reporting framework for measuring and reporting overall corporate performance to shareholders and other stakeholders
■ Working towards development of common idea on key performance indicators (KPIs)
Key themes – Australian Submissions on <IR> Framework
Integrated Reporting will assist with the Australian energy financing challenge
Will Australia’s energy financing challenge be a gap or an opportunity?
KPMG recommendations include
■ An Integrated Report be prepared by the government on a timely basis in relation to each four yearly review.
■ Encourage legislation or regulation to accelerate the adoption of Integrated Reporting by energy businesses to provide financiers with a better basis for capital allocation.
