12 - The unvarnished money: is information reliable?
Best Practices to ensure financial transparency from economic players.
Listed companies are more subjected to releasing financial information than they were a few years ago. Nowadays, financial communication, whether it is a requirement or an opportunity, has turned into a strategic stage, as the corporate image is at stake. The companies’ commitment to communications makes it possible to attract investors and secure their loyalty.
A responsible company should work higher up the line on the quality and transparency of the information it delivers: how to flesh it out through non-financial indicators, erase the boundary between financial communications and strategic communications… Which role for the Media? Decipher, control and pass on information. Therefore, they can fully take part in the economic players getting the information that is as faithful as possible to real economy.
