Narrative reporting is receiving great attention due to its ability to provide information about a firm’s sustainability and value creation and to the enforcement of recent regulatory frameworks.
Offering basic-to-intermediate understanding of narrative reporting, the course integrates traditional financial accounting courses, which focus on financial accounting standards and financial statement analysis, and courses about corporate communications, strategy, and sustainable development by illustrating how those issues can be represented in companies’ reports.
Exam info and full course description can be found in the course catalogue.
