How do you reference a company's Annual Report?

What are the non-financial aspects of the report and how do you assess them?

How do you reference a company's Annual Report?

Depends on the uni, didn't your uni make you take a "how to write essays" class or give you a handbook/cheatsheet with all this in it?
If your course uses Harvard

Non-financial I would guess would be whatever doesn't have a number next to it, you know, triple bottom line reporting like your class should have covered.

That's a shame, out of the 3 unis i've attended they've all made first years do a subject on essay writing

anyway i've put harvard up in above post.
And google triple bottom line reporting, basically it's all the social and environmental stuff they put into reports. Then there's quadruple bottom line reporting as well.
Here's a link for a quick overview http://www.cpaaustralia.com.au/cps/rde/xchg/SID-3F57FEDE-EDF68024/cpa/hs.xsl/8123_8138_ENA_HTML.htm

UNE, USQ, CSU. Plus they provide these nice little cheat sheet booklets on how to do it too. The first two were CompSci/IT type courses, the third education. I thought it was a waste of time when I first did them but you learn quite a bit about communication theory in them which has helped.

It's a shame that your unis don't seem to do it, at the very least they could provide some out of class tutorials on it.

UWS provides out of class workshops at the start of the semester but they were at a bad time for me, so I didnt go to them. They also sell a book on that at the co-op bookshop which I have but they didnt have the style for annual reports or share prices
