The Quick Quiz

Test your knowledge of annual reports.
(Questions for October 1999)

Come back each month to see how savvy you are about
annual reports to shareholders of publicly held companies.


 
  1. No matter what companies claim, the summary annual report would be a huge cost savings—that is, over the "regular" annual report with all its pretty pictures. True or false?  
 
  2. Truth be told, virtually no chief executives are involved in their companies’ annuals. True or false?  
 
  3. Okay—let’s take that drivel about the annual report being hazardous, potentially, to the producers’ health—isn’t that a fabrication on your part to curry favor with producers so they’ll subscribe to your newsletter?  
 
  4. First off, isn’t it true you seldom (if ever) get invited back by an organization dumb enough to invite you in the first place? And one reason, isn’t it true, is that your message to audiences goes in one ear and out the other?  
 
  5. If you’re so hot, why do so few attendees at your annual conference return? Isn’t it true you’re running through the market, as it were?
