Abstract

This exploratory study examines the evolution of the annual report to shareholders between 2005 and 2014. Several typical yet elective elements of annual reports are examined, specifically looking at the elements of sustainability, interactive interface, and length as it changed year to year. Additionally, I examined changes in independent auditor and classified companies according to Global Industry Classification Standards sectors.
