Overview: Investors, shareholders, employees, and other readers rely on annual reports when making important strategic and financial decisions. Recent allegations of misleading and fraudulent financial reporting by corporations to their constituents and the resulting legal, ethical, and societal impacts have brought a new urgency to the effort to compose reports that are accurate and clear.
