5. Advanced Tools and Professional Collaboration

The organization needs more time to collect the necessary information, as an Integrated Annual Report needs to be comprehensive form of reporting. IIRC has come up with a reporting framework which involves measuring value creation based on six forms of capitals of value creation namely manufactured capital and financial capital and intellectual capital and human capital and social capital and natural capital. The organization needs to remove all data restrictions for this method to work, which requires extended time for team members to work together.

In line with the standard practices that are followed by other organizations, the organization created a steering committee that comprised of staff members that were drawn from different departments including Shareholder Relations and CSR and Legal and Strategy and Brand and Risk Management to manage resources for its 2020 IAR. The organization has dedicated ample resources for this project since it requires many departments to coordinate to produce comprehensive reports. Some require external expertise because this is a financially demanding process, and not all companies have enough financial muscles to mount this system.

This method was successfully conducted by ABN AMRO through its business operations. The bank had a matured set of performance measurements for all the six capitals in its value creation framework in the 2020 Integrated Report.

Data Accuracy: First of all, our process starts with us verifying all financial data and other relevant statistical information through checks. Automated systems.
