Conference Overview
The underlining aims of all corporate investor relations teams are to identify, reach and communicate effectively with their audiences. To navigate the new landscape of challenging economic times such as today, today’s IR team must build and maintain an ongoing dialogue with investors and shareholders, using the communication tools available to maximise the efficient delivery of key messages. Our inaugural Investor Relations Forum will put into focus the recent important changes in reporting requirements, new trends in investors’ interests and information needs, alongside the wider range of additional challenges that corporate IR teams must manage. It will invite IR professionals to examine and select the best channels, tools and techniques available – thereby turning challenges into opportunities…
Highlights will include:
· Insight into what/How to communicate in a downturn! · How to reassure investors that risk are being actively managed · Simplifying Web 2.0 for the Investor Relations practitioner · Discussion on Corporate Governance and the New King III as it affects Investor Relations Practice · Going beyond the numbers: best practice financial reporting · A live Demonstration of the Electronic Voting System by IML · A closer look into New Companies Act 2008...and lots more...
This IR forum provides an incredible opportunity to network with fellow IR practitioners and discourse some of the macro issues that currently define investor relations practice

IFRS: Turning Confusion into Competitive advantage! The IASB has announced in July 2006 that an agreement, called “The memorandum of understanding”, was reached with the FASB and SEC. In terms of the agreement a moratorium was placed on new IFRS standards becoming effective until 1 January 2009. The reasons for this were to: • Increased lead time to prepare for new standards • Increased opportunity for input on conceptual issues • To allow those countries yet to adopt IFRS to have a clear target date for adoption • To provide a 4 year period of stability for those companies that adopted IFRS in 2005.
As this moratorium came to an end and many of changes and new standards are effective from the annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 July 2009, the session will focus on: • Changes affecting the presentation of financial statement • Changes affecting the measurement of items recognized in the financial statements. 12:15 - 13:00
