AIRA Webinar | Annual Report Verification Best Practice

AIRA Webinar | Annual Report Verification Best Practice
With annual reporting time fast approaching for many, IRO's are faced with managing a process that is often termed "the most painful part of the entire job' ... verification.

Aligned to the global Integrated Reporting movement, the release of ASX Recommendation 4.3 encourages listed entities to disclose their processes for verifying the integrity of any periodic corporate report released to market that is not audited or reviewed by an external auditor.

This leads to some key questions:

What is verification best practice?
How can verification be made less painful & more efficient?
What process will satisfy entities that reporting is materially accurate, balanced and provides investors with appropriate information?
How can entities demonstrate compliance with Recommendation 4.3 to the ASX?

In this webinar, we will hear from Coles Group Limited & Atlas Arteria on how they have answered these questions and transformed their company-wide approach to verification.

SPEAKERS

Lisa Zimmet, Head of Investor Relations for Coles Group Limited,
Jeanette Royce, Director, Investor Relations for Atlas Arteria,
Moderator Tom Ray, Head of Growth, Atticus

Small-Cap -November 2020 - Archive
Navigating the media landscape goes beyond publishing press releases or having a presence in the right social media channels. Just as important is maintaining a consistent and steady narrative with investors and the broader community. Investors’ expectations of what a company should report on is also evolving - ESG performance is becoming increasingly important.
Responding to new investor requirements while maintaining a consistent narrative can be a challenge, especially for small cap companies that may have limited media resources.

While we are still riding out the social and economic shocks caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, how can IRO's effectively manage consensus during a time of such volatility and uncertainty?

Leveraging Visible Alpha's up-to-date consensus estimates, this webinar includes a look at how the equity markets are expecting the recovery to play out. The panel shares insights into how the investment community are forecasting the impact and recovery of each sector and what it means for IR practitioners.

Webinar | How are Investors Approaching 2020 AGMs

This webinar discusses how the pandemic has seen investors are applying even greater scrutiny to the appropriateness of remuneration structures, culture, ESG risk management and board composition. There is now an expectation from large investors that Boards will apply their discretion to reduce or withhold incentives, and factor in considerations that serve a broader corporate and social purpose over the long term. There is no doubt, given recent high-profile examples, that shareholders do have the power to bring about change within an organisation.

Our expert panel talks about their own experiences and share with you some of their key learnings and provide guidance around the practical implications for investor relations professionals.

Accessing Offshore Investors

The current Roadshow landscape, according to an AIRA member survey, is one of the greatest issues of concern for investor relations professionals. Listed entities are struggling to build efficient meeting schedules and investor relations professionals are finding it more difficult to boost levels of interest with investors, particularly in the US. Broker conferences are often dominated by hedge funds and active funds are requesting more direct access with listed entities to avoid corporate access costs. On top of that, you have the rise of passive investors and the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic!

This webinar looks at these challenges and provides some practical tips on organising roadshows in the current environment.

Josh Frydenberg, MP to extend the provision that enables listed entities to hold virtual / hybrid meetings and distribute notices of meetings electronically for the next six months, this webinar provides critical intelligence around key learnings from early adopters and how these meetings have been perceived by regulators and retail investors.
