Integrated Reporting Framework

By: A Staff Writer

Updated on: Jul 19, 2024

What: Expands beyond traditional financial reporting, disclosing how the company creates value over time, using capitals (financial, human, intellectual, etc.).

Who: The International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC).

Why: Gives investors/stakeholders a more complete picture of the company. Helps entrepreneurs measure broader contributions, not just profit.

When: Voluntary, but public companies especially face growing demand for it. If impact is core to your business, helps articulate it.

How:

1. 1. Familiarize yourself with the IIRC framework.
   2. Requires more than just adding a few new graphs to your annual report.
