    "Materiality and assurance: building the link" in Integrated Reporting - Concepts and Cases that Redefine Corporate Accountability (C. Busco Ed)

    No full text
    This chapter provides a comprehensive discussion of materiality and assurance in the context of Integrated Reporting (IR). On the one hand, materiality has gained much importance following the introduction of IR, since one of the main objectives of this innovative form of reporting is to reach conciseness. On the other hand, assurance may play a crucial role in conferring reliability to the materiality determination process proposed by the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) and to the whole process of IR. This chapter provides a discussion of the state of the art of materiality and assurance in the context of non-financial information and, more specifically, IR. It also points out some of the main challenges the IIRC materiality determination process will have to face in order for companies to implement it correctly. Finally, drawing on the peculiarities of IR, the chapter points out some issues that will have to be discussed regarding assurance and its effectiveness. Some insights for future development of the debate are also proposed

    "Towards Integrated Reporting: the case of Enel" in Integrated Reporting - Concepts and Cases that Redefine Corporate Accountability (ed C. Busco)

    No full text
    The aim of this chapter is to provide a discussion of the business case of Enel, which is an International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) pilot program company currently evolving its corporate disclosure towards Integrated Reporting (IR). The relevance of pilot company business cases has been recognized by the IIRC, which defined their experience as “invaluable”. On the one hand, Enel did modify its corporate reporting system coherently with the IIRC guiding principles by including considerable non-financial information in its annual report, reducing the length of its sustainability report and improving its materiality determination process and business model analysis. On the other hand, it will be interesting to see how the company applies other aspects of the IIRC framework, such as the six-capital structure and the way in which reporting boundaries are defined. The analysis done in this chapter may be of interest to companies, standard setters and scholars wishing to enhance their knowledge on how companies are currently evolving their corporate disclosure systems towards IR
