In our latest program for the Integrated Reporting U.S. Community, we'll discuss the report released by The Conference Board Integrated Reporting Working Group on The Emergence of Integrated Reporting.  The Group explains the rationale for this effort as follows:

How can companies show the value of their nonfinancial, intangible assets in a way their investors can easily understand?

Over the last 30 years, intangible assets have moved from 20 percent to over 80 percent of the value of public companies, yet decision making within companies has failed to keep pace. Financial reporting has made even less progress in addressing these changes. As they take ESG impacts ever more seriously, US investors are urging management and the board to adopt a reporting method that accounts for both tangible and intangible assets. “Integrated reporting” is such a method: it provides a framework that highlights all the ways a company creates and will continue to create value.

We'll hear from Bob Laux, IIRC U.S. Lead who is a member of the Working Group with our guest, John Wilcox, Chairman of Morrow Sodali. As always, we'll welcome feedback and discussion among the attendees.
