This year marks the diamond anniversary of the Chartered Accountants of Canada’s Corporate Reporting Awards. Since 1941 the program has been centre stage in Canada’s evolution to best practice reporting models. By providing important recognition for those committed to advancing business reporting, the program has helped drive the development of best practices in financial reporting, corporate governance disclosure, electronic disclosure and sustainable development reporting, all of which are now regarded as essential components of the corporate reporting model. Judging organizations include the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA), PricewaterhouseCoopers, Ernst & Young, Deloitte, International Institute for Sustainable Development, Canadian Investor Relations Institute, and Toronto CFA Society.
