On Dec 6, CPA Canada held their annual gala dinner in Toronto to present the awards in their sixty-six year-old Corporate Reporting Contest. Awards are given in Financial Reporting, Sustainability, Governance and Electronic Disclosure. In addition, Platinum and Silver awards are given for overall excellence in these categories.
Twenty-seven organizations were honoured, with Barrick Gold Corporation, BMO Financial Group, Goldcorp and Teck leading the way with Platinum Awards.
One of the fastest changing categories is that of electronic reporting. That includes disclosure on websites and social media and takes into account the adaptability of disclosures to mobile units. High priority is given to innovation, such as disclosure of interactive data tools. Indeed there is an emphasis on interactivity, flexibility, currency, non-linearity and data availability - all features of the internet.
