Indeed, high-quality corporate reporting is essential and contributes to financial stability, promotes good corporate governance and strengthens the business community. As companies and investors evolve rapidly in a fast-changing world, corporate reporting must change to reflect these dynamics. Companies are already improving their corporate reporting in practice and this demonstrates that the momentum for change toward better communication and accountability is building,” said Sheila Ujoodha, executive director of MIoD. Viswajithsing Tuhobol, head of the Financial Reporting Council, added that “corporate reporting is a key way in which companies communicate with stakeholders as part of their accountability obligations. Companies need to communicate more clearly, openly and effectively with investors and other stakeholders about how they plan to develop sustainably. We are delighted to collaborate with the Mauritius Institute of Directors for this event where a range of ideas were shared to strengthen corporate governance and increase confidence in financial reporting. More than 90 participants attended the meeting, including representatives from the banking and financial sectors, regulators, auditors and other key stakeholders from the private and public sector business community.
