A company's annual report is the most important document that they release each year. In
short, it's a reliable summary of the company's financial position for that year that's been
checked and approved by an auditor.
This information is always released in a standard annual report format. This helps
shareholders and future investors to quickly find the information that they're looking for
about the company.
Investment expert Dan Fournier summarizes some of the most important purposes of the
annual report:
"You can use the annual report to assess a company's profitability, its potential for growth, to
learn about its problems or challenges, or to find out about risks and other factors that may
affect its performance and, inherently, its stock price."
Fortunately, most companies follow a similar industry practice in their annual report
presentation, making it simple to understand and compare the company's financial position.
There are seven sections that make up the standard annual report format:
The most important components are the financial statements, but when they stand alone they
can be misleading. It's only when you compare these statements to other company annual
reports that you can understand how the company has performed financially for that year.
