Beyond Financial Statements: Narrative Reporting on Value Creation

The growing attention devoted to the sustainability of a firm’s business model and to social and environmental impacts of a company’s operations has led to the establishment of teams and committees devoted to communication about sustainability and value creation by sveral organizations. Working in those roles requires interdisciplinary competences and basic knowledge of the aims, features and structure of narrative reporting in order to develop adequate non-financial communication practices. Offering basic-to-intermediate understanding of narrative reporting, the course integrates traditional financial accounting classes, which focus on financial accounting standards and financial statement analysis. The course also complements corporate communications classes and courses about strategy, value creation, and sustainable development by illustrating how those issues can be represented in companies’ reports. Hence, the course could be useful for students in the field of accounting and for students in the fields of management and communication.
