Workshop: Investor audits – Why, when, how?
Comprehensive audits with shareholders and investors are an integral part of best practice IR programs. They are valuable tools for understanding the market’s perception of your equity story, and provide an excellent forum for candid feedback. Regular audits can inform intelligent Boardroom and IR decision-making with market feedback that can be tracked through time.
