HHL Accounting Talk: INVESTORS’ DARLING 2022 – Kommunikationstrends im deutschen Kapitalmarkt

INVESTORS’ DARLING has been assessing the capital market communications of the largest listed companies in Germany since 2014.

• What methodology is the contest based on?
• What changes and adjustments will there be in INVESTORS’ DARLING 2022?
• What trends will companies have to adapt to in reporting over the next few years? What are the current fields of action?
