Mark Wearden FCCA FCIS, Managing Director, MBS Ltd

This workshop considers the purpose, evolution and practicalities of narrative reporting: as required in all quoted, large and medium-sized companies. Organisations can use this as an opportunity to add value rather than simply comply, so the programme offers practical ideas on how to enhance organisational value through the uses of effective narrative in addition to covering expectation and requirement.

• Background, evolution, legal expectation.
• Differing stakeholder perspectives.
• Telling the organisational story.
• Aligning the players and their messages.
• Reporting on an ever changing dynamic.
• Convention, challenge and differentiation.
