The Value Reporting Revolution

Beschreibung

Provides a comprehensive framework for achieving higher levels of corporate information disclosure and transparency In order to decide whether or not a company is a good investment, analysts and investment professionals need to know as much as possible about the company's tangible and intangible assets, as well as a variety of critical performance measures. Written by an international team of experts, The Value Reporting Revolution clearly explains why corporations must move toward greater transparency and, more importantly, it provides a comprehensive framework for achieving that goal. Among other important lessons, readers learn how to identify the gaps between how corporate managers perceive their disclosure practices versus how the markets see them, as well as how to leverage their organizations' electronic communications technology and tools to ensure easy access to vital information and more meaningful data analysis.

Even with the recent drop-off in stock prices, there's still great variation in how financial markets are valuing companies. To add more predictability to valuations, says this team of authors from PricewaterhouseCoopers, companies should take the initiative and publicize the nonfinancial measures that can drive future success. Otherwise, they say, analysts and individual investors will rely on their own estimates, which inevitably either undervalue a company or set it up for a fall. The main trouble, they find, lies not in disagreements over the key drivers but in executives' age-old reluctance to divulge information. The book covers these important debates, as well as the shifting world of accounting principles and oversight, in a comprehensive fashion and with clear prose. Yet while parts of this lengthy, lopsided book are full of detail, the case studies of companies actually experimenting with new metrics are surprisingly thin.--The Harvard Business Review ".easy to read.plenty to keep the reader interested.a stimulating read, guaranteed to make you question the real value of traditional quarterly earnings announcements."
