Dataset of UK award shortlisted annual reports

This dataset includes a compilation of U.K. reporting awards from 2007 to
2019 to proxy for annual report quality. There are six annual report
narrative awards/rankings in the U.K.: the PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC)
Building Public Trust Awards, Investor Relations (IR) Society Awards, ICSA
Hermes Transparency in Governance Awards, Communicate Magazine,
Accountancy Age, and Report Watch. Each of these organisations (except
Report Watch) annually identifies the highest quality annual report
narratives in the FTSE350 index and publishes a shortlist of between three
and ten firms as potential award winners. We compile shortlisted firms
from the 2007 through 2019 awards cycles and classify these as
high-quality annual reports.Description
