(Questions for August 2004)

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


 
  1.  You're pretty impartial with your evaluation of reports, granted, but if it's someone with clout, you bend the rules a bit. True or false?  
 
  2.  Okay. But isn't it a fact you play favorites with suppliers to the trade—graphic designers specializing in annuals, for instance? True or false?  
 
  3.  Thanks in no small part to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOx in the industry jargon), disclosure in annuals has improved immensely. Moreoever, stockholders are reaping big benefits. True or false?  
 
  4.  But companies claim improved communications with stockholders as a result of SOx. Are you saying this isn't true?  
 
  5.  Okay, we've covered the claim you're not prejudiced toward graphic design agencies that produce annual reports. But are you saying you don't play favorites among publicly held companies?  
 
  6.  When you were on the other side of the fence, as a corporate officer, you were positive you had no faults, no drawbacks as an annual report producer. Not true?
