By law, a
corporation must provide
its stockholders with information about its management and operations,
including financial statements. Companies do this through an annual
report, which at times can also serve as a marketing tool. Annual reports most often include a letter from the Chairman and/or Chief Executive
Officer, a description of the company’s business initiatives and a
summary of its successes over the past year. Annual reports are typically available through a company’s investor
relations department and on the company’s website. Modern and social media and communications has pushed some companies to share related videos. This site will help you find some of these, and empower you with some of the basics of what to expect when you find the reports. |
