| |
| | | Applauded a PRSA finding that the annual report is seen as the most credible source in making investment decisions, "which I’ve said all along." |
| |
| | | Criticized the report of Wisconsin’s Firstar as not being "user-friendly." |
| |

Subscribers to Cato’s newsletter range from an executive vice president and vice presidents for corporate communications, finance or investor relations, to directors and managers of the project involving what he calls "the key corporate communiqué." He also is a contributing editor to Chief Executive, for which he annually picks the world’s 10 best and worst reports.
