2 How can corporate reporting connect your business to its true value?
Foreword
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant humanitarian and economic impact, and countries around the
world continue to contend with the implications. During this disrupted, uncertain and anxious time, it has become
even more important that organizations use their corporate reporting to explain how they are navigating through
the turbulence. The senior finance leaders and organizations that EY teams work with have shown significant
resilience and fortitude, in terms of how they have shifted to a virtual operating model and are providing the
insight that stakeholders are looking for, to steer them through an uncharted future.
Leading organizations and finance executives have demonstrated their ability to maintain a critical balance:
responding to the short-term crisis with resilience, while retaining focus on long-term results and sustainable
growth. This means avoiding short-term thinking and generating long-term value for multiple stakeholders
— shareholders, employees, customers, communities and other parties — with a focus not only on financial
outcomes, but also environmental and social impacts. If finance fails to play a central role in meeting the changing
expectations of investors, regulators and other stakeholders, reporting could become increasingly irrelevant.
However, too many finance functions are on the back foot when it comes to meeting this shift in reporting and
transparency expectations, simply waiting for legislation to emerge that will make it a mandatory requirement.
There are two priorities for finance executives who want to be seen as leaders in this area. First, they should
rethink the role that reporting plays in enterprise value. As well as a focus on financial reporting excellence, this
means meeting demands for nonfinancial information, with business models increasingly exposed to social and
environmental issues. Second, finance leaders should take a fresh look at how finance and reporting are delivered.
This means challenging themselves to think about what finance and reporting could look like in the future and
being prepared to disrupt the status quo. Building trust into artificial intelligence (AI) and other technologies,
transforming the finance and reporting operating model, and rethinking leadership roles and the future finance
talent strategy are expected to be critical aspects.
Failing to drive change in how organizations report enterprise value could have significant implications. Unless
companies report on increasingly important intangible assets, such as intellectual property (IP) and human
capital, investors will develop their own approaches and data sources to assess that value, essentially removing
the reporting “narrative” from the companies’ control. Organizations could also struggle to outline how their
environmental and social activities impact society, and contribute to the overall growth and prosperity of
the world, which can be critical to rebuilding trust with a wider group of stakeholders, including customers
and communities. Finally, it could make it difficult for companies to really engage with investors — building
transparency about the organization’s long-term strategy and meeting investors’ expectations in terms of
reporting disclosures.
This significant shift in approach is the theme of this latest report, which builds on research that the EY Global
FAAS team has conducted annually since 2014, examining a range of areas from finance talent, to the need for
a reporting culture based on openness, authenticity and accountability.1 Today’s agenda is about how to map
out a rethink of how finance and reporting are to be delivered, not just in the near-term future, but in 2023 and
beyond. These insights form part of our CFO Imperative Series, which provides critical answers and insights to
help finance leaders reframe the future of their organization. For more insights for CFOs, visit ey.com/CFO.
All of us have been challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic. We have moved from a world where the role of offices
and physical work spaces have been upended, and where finance is more defined by the skills it possesses and the
agility of its technology. But this is also an exciting time to accelerate the transformation of corporate reporting
and how it is provided.

1. A new reality for reporting
Finance and reporting are at the heart of how organizations are a successful transition to the new operating reality demanded by
responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. Corporate reporting is the COVID-19 pandemic and its ongoing implications. The 2020

1. A new reality for reporting
The head of accounting at a supermarket chain, which has operations across Europe and North America, pointed out that
virtual working can be challenging when it comes to areas like systems transformation and onboarding new talent. “We had
started a big, state-of-the-art ERP implementation and now this has to be done completely on a remote basis,” he explains.
“This has its challenges, because usually you get the different teams together so that everyone can get to know each other a
little bit better. And, if you have a face-to-face meeting, you get direct feedback. Likewise, if you are presenting, you can really
look people in the eye to keep them engaged.”
“I also gained five new team members during this pandemic and all onboarding within the accounting team has moved to online
from in-person. It is quite a big difference to meet people in-person versus via telephone or virtual. It can also be particularly
challenging when you are onboarding with other departments outside of accounting, where you are often looking for
information or support. Also, with home-working, there is not the opportunity to meet new colleagues in person at the coffee
machine or over lunch.”
