Last chance to share your thoughts: International <IR> Framework consultation closes 19 August
There are just 13 days left to respond to the IIRC’s consultation on revisions to the International Integrated Reporting Framework.
Feedback is encouraged through our online survey: www.integratedreporting.org/2020revision
The consultation focuses on two key revisions:
- How those charged with governance take responsibility for the integrated report
- How to ensure businesses report effectively on outcomes/impacts – both positive and negative.
There are also questions around areas the IIRC might consider in the future, including:
- The primary purpose of an integrated report
- The publication of authoritative sources of indicators and methodologies across the capitals
- Deeper insights into integrated thinking
- The role of technology
- The development of assurance.
More than 1,000 people have attended over 20 virtual roundtables hosted by IIRC partners internationally, to share their thoughts on revisions to the <IR> Framework.
If you haven’t already added your thoughts to this dialogue, we encourage you to do so through the online survey.
Charles Tilley will continue in his role as IIRC CEO, having initially been appointed Interim CEO in June 2019.
Charles is a long-term leader in the field, having served as Chair of the IIRC’s Technical Task Force – the body responsible for the creation of the International <IR> Framework.
The announcement comes as the IIRC strengthens its strategy to to embed the concepts of integrated thinking and reporting in mainstream business practice.
It will achieve this by intensifying collaboration with others to unify the corporate reporting structure, while simultaneously strengthening the integrated reporting movement.
A recent profile about Charles and his plans for the IIRC, as well as insights into his career to date, has been published by A Plus Magazine.
New guidance: How businesses can adopt a long-term value creation agenda
