Overview
Submitting an annual report to parliament, and sharing it with stakeholders is a yearly obligation. The report is a complex document and necessarily involves input from several areas of an organisation. Its development and completion are often onerous, thankless and stressful tasks that few enjoy. However, this need not be the case. If a few fundamental principles and some planning are applied, producing annual reports can be a straightforward and credible accounting of an organisation’s performance.
