Technology primer for integrated reporting: A Chief Information Officer guide

Participants of the <IR> Technology Initiative –  Atos, Deloitte, EY, Finext, KPMG, PwC, SAP, Satriun Group and CCH Tagetik – have published this technology primer, identifying steps that Chief Information Officers can take to build an information architecture that supports integrated reporting.

Technology is rapidly developing to enhance the way businesses analyse, use and communicate data. As the volume of data grows – alongside demands for transparency – Chief Information Officers (CIO) must be at the heart of harnessing these technological developments to identify how the organisation is creating value in the short, medium and long term. A successful CIO will take responsibility for building the information architecture that feeds into the integrated report, so that the business can think, plan and communicate their story of value creation, ultimately leading to internal and external benefits for the business.
