Question 1 (50 Marks) (Word Limit = 1000 words)
Wild and van Staden (2013, p. 6) argue that stand-alone reports relevant to social and environmental activities are non-integrated. Therefore, they are not capable to evaluate business performance, strategy and potential for value creation for different types of stakeholders (cited in Bernardi, 2015). Integrated reporting evolves due to response to this criticism (Bernardi, 2015).
Required:
. Choose a company listed on the ASX and identify whether the company prepare integrated reporting or not?
