Thomson Financial has contracted with Atlanta-based consulting firm Elemental Interactive Design + Development, to provide online access to annual reports.
The Interactive Annual Reports product will enable investors to browse through the report, which is created from the original document, export key financial data, perform key-word searches, download the report as a PDF or send the document via e-mail.
Thomson Financial says the service will improve corporate disclosure and allow companies to communicate more effectively with stakeholders.
Eric Frank, executive vice president, Thomson Financial Corporate Group, adds: "In the spirit of today's more stringent disclosure regulations, we understand the importance of offering cost effective tools for our clients to communicate to investors more clearly, using the most innovative technology available."
