Why Beyond the Balance Sheet disclosure?
The Beyond the Balance Sheet platform goes beyond the disclosure of an annual report.
The Beyond the Balance Sheet platform helps businesses develop a disclosure strategy necessary to remain relevant in a fast-changing and information-driven world. In particular, the platform is designed to guide emerging-market companies that start integrating financial and non-financial information in corporate reporting, communications, and disclosure practices. As a result, the platform promotes a transparent culture and more responsible investments in emerging markets. It helps investors and other stakeholders understand and trust a company’s disclosures.
The platform helps companies navigate their journey so that investors and other key stakeholders can access, understand, and trust their disclosures and reports.
It's a continuous process of exploring, learning, and creating & assessing.
The platform was created in partnership with the Switzerland State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO).
