CIRI Annual Report Survey

In 2006, Genoa Management Limited published a research report on the development practices and production costs associated with the publication of annual reports by Canadian public companies. Entitled 2005 Annual Report Survey: A study of trends and practices in the annual report process, the report was made possible by the support of the Canadian Investor Relations Institute (CIRI) and the sponsorship of CCNMatthews. The research report is the first comprehensive study published following changes adopted in April 2004 by Canadian securities regulators that allowed public companies to ask their shareholders if they wanted to receive a printed copy of the company’s annual report.
