Identify voluntary disclosures in annual reports and discuss reasons for and limitations of such disclosures.

Question

In addition to the audited financial statements, annual reports contain a great deal of extra information which could be financial and non-financial. The extra information provided may be required by law, hence, it is mandatory. However, many companies provide additional information not required by law, on a voluntary basis.

Required:

(a) Identify THREE of such reports that are voluntarily disclosed in annual reports of Nigerian companies. (3 Marks)

(b) Why would a company disclose information not required by law in its annual report? Propose FOUR reasons for and give any TWO limitations of such disclosures. (7 Marks)

Discuss principles and key components of the IIRC's Framework for integrated reporting, and concerns about its suitability for assessing entity prospects.

Question

At a recently concluded Annual General Meeting (AGM) of a company, one of the shareholders remarked; “historical financial statements are essential in corporate reporting, particularly for compliance purposes, but it can be argued that they do not provide meaningful information. After having issued a series of environmental and then sustainability reports, it is apparent that although the numbers were allowing a true and fair review of the company’s performance, operations and management they were not necessarily relevant to stakeholders. The International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) is calling for a shift in thinking more to the long term, to think beyond what can be measured in quantitative terms and to think about how the entity creates value for its owners” the statement concluded.

Required: Discuss the principles and key components of the IIRC’s Framework, and any concerns which could impede the Framework’s suitability for assessing the prospects of an entity.
