FEE Factsheet on Integrated Reporting

Debates and developments around the concept of “integrated reporting” are growing in importance. According to the FEE (Fédération des Experts-comptables Européens - Federation of European Accountants), “integrated reporting is a holistic approach to enable investors and other stakeholders to understand how an organisation is really performing. Addressing the wider as well as longer-term consequences of decisions and actions, an integrated report makes clear the link between financial and non-financial value. The relationship between an organisation's strategy, governance and business model should be transparent through such reporting. It also gives an analysis of the impacts and interconnections of material opportunities, risks and performance across the value chain.” The FEE represents 45 professional institutes of accountants and auditors from 33 European countries, including all 27 EU Member States.
