Jones and Palmer launch Annual Report Survival Guide
Tuesday, January 31, 2006
Jones and Palmer launch their Survival Guide to producing a winning Annual Report.
Company directors faced with preparing the Annual Report will be more than aware of the challenges. Today, they are offered a free lifeline — the latest White Paper from Jones and Palmer.
Jones and Palmer, specialists in the production of Annual Reports, have today published a directors’ Survival Guide. It recognises the latest demands for compliance, reveals how leading companies are changing their approach to the Annual Report, describes some of the pitfalls and is packed with a wealth of hints and tips. Even for those who have been through the process a number of times, the paper should provide new inspiration.
“Because of our expertise in the field, we have been asked by a number of company directors to publish an easy-to-read guide,” explains Ian Houston (Chairman). “It almost certainly contains information that most will not have had the time or resources to research for themselves.”
“It is the most public of documents and has the power to enhance or endanger the corporate image, the company’s interests and its competitive position. To make matters worse, from the release of financials to mailing date could be just a matter of weeks, without any room for error.” Ian Houston, Chairman, Jones and Palmer Limited
“Whether it is read on the train or in the workplace, the guide will prove to be an invaluable source of inspiration.”
Topics include:
- The anatomy of a winning report
- Insights into successful design
- How to brief the agency
- Project planning — the key tasks and how to meet tight deadlines, on budget
- Turning corporate-speak into a compelling story
- Squeezing the most out of online Investor Relations
- 36 indicators to measure the effectiveness of any Annual Report
- Proven hints, tips, and wrinkles
Written in plain English, the guide should save readers both time and potential headaches. It is free of charge and is available on request from Jones and Palmer. Look in our downloads section
