Research by KPMG shows that the annual reports of French companies average 310 pages, while Australian annual reports average just 155. Meanwhile, local companies’ consolidated financial statements average 70 pages, compared with 140 in Italy. However, the length of the remuneration reports of Australian companies tend to exceed the global average, comprising 28 per cent of their annual report. KPMG’s global survey also shows that just 14 per cent of Australian companies outline their longer-term business strategy in the annual report.
