Why Investor Relations Officers should choose CtrlPrint for interim reports

Why Investor Relations Officers should choose CtrlPrint for interim reports

Enhancing Investor Relations

CtrlPrint has been the market standard for annual reports for more than two decades, but looking back at my career, I would say that CtrlPrint is an underutilised tool for creating interim reports. Why? Here is my take on it.

Safety and Stability

For me, particularly in my previous role, safety extends beyond information security; it also means knowing that your reports are stable and robust. With CtrlPrint, what you put down stays down, ensuring that your content remains unchanged and consistent. You can easily verify that no unintended changes have occurred, giving you peace of mind. This stability significantly reduces the need for triple-checking, allowing you to focus on more strategic aspects of your role.

Market Communication and Reputation

Building interim reports are essential for communicating with the market, especially for analysts who rely on this information. However, they have long been overlooked as an opportunity to enhance the company's reputation and credibility. You have the interest of your audience; why not take the opportunity? CtrlPrint ensures that your reports have the highest design and quality, effectively communicating with your stakeholders, enhancing their understanding and engagement.

The Nightmare of Market Abuse Regulation

CtrlPrint offers robust authorisation and rights management, which is essential for compliance with regulations such as the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR). As a project manager, you can invite additional participants to access the report on our secure platform, ensuring the right people have access to the right information at the right time. Instead of sending reports via email, everyone can access and comment on the report directly on the platform, regardless of their location. This real-time collaboration keeps everyone on the same page and speeds up the review and approval process, even when time pressures are high.

Collaboration is seamless with CtrlPrint. Stay in control without losing the layout

CtrlPrint empowers users to make corrections themselves, reducing the need for extensive back-and-forth with designers. This feature is especially valuable when there are last-minute changes or corrections to be made before publication. The platform also allows you to carry over all figures from previous reports, minimising manual data entry and the potential for errors. This automation streamlines the reporting process, saving time and reducing the risk of inaccuracies. This efficiency ensures that your reports are not only accurate but also visually appealing.
