A summary of recent developments at the IIRC and FEE.

The International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) has released the latest in its Creating Value series, Creating Value: The cyclical power of integrated thinking and reporting. The publication explores how integrated thinking is an integral component of integrated reporting. For organisations to truly adopt integrated reporting they need to embrace the concept of integrated thinking throughout the organisation. The publication also picks up on the release by the Italian Network for Business Reporting of a handbook on integrated thinking, giving step by step stages for companies to follow in order to 'make integrated thinking concrete and usable'. Please click for for the new creating value publication on the IIRC website and access to the handbook on integrated thinking.

The Federation of European Accountants (Fédération des Experts-comptables Européens, FEE) has released a publication providing practical guidance to companies that will have to comply for the first time with the EU Directive on the disclosure of non-financial and diversity information by certain large undertakings and groups. The publication applies the Directive’s requirements in a ‘mock-up’ management report of a fictional company in the food industry. This will especially help companies without prior experience in reporting on non-financial and diversity information. Please click to access Disclose what truly matters on the FEE website.
