BUSN - Citing Business Sources

Annual Reports/Sustainability Reports

In most cases annual reports are published after the end of the calendar year - for example 2014 annual reports will be released early in the year 2015. In some cases however the annual report is published before the end of the calendar year and so the publication date is the same as the year represented in the annual report (2014 annual report with a publication date of 2014). Make sure you check the “filing date” in SEDAR and EDGAR to determine when the report was actually published.
