CICA 2008 Corporate Reporting Awards – Winners
As a panel judge in the electronic disclosure category, I attended the CICA corporate reporting awards earlier today at the swank Carlu in College Park. The usual suspects were all in attendance – it’s beginning to feel like “going home” with all the familiar faces. Many of this year’s winners were predictable – a select group of companies whom consistently excel in corporate reporting and take these awards very seriously.
In the electronic category it was great to see so many companies having improved over last year and honourable mention Petro Canada, was definitely one of them. What I find interesting is how many companies submit for the electronic disclosure category, knowing full well that they won’t win or even score highly. What this tells me is that the feedback from the panel judges is highly valued and perhaps a contributing factor in some of the improvements we see.
Congratulations to the winners – a report including judge’s comments can be found on the CICA site:
