From Chris Quick, Editor ACCA Accountancy Futures, Third Edition, 2011 - “The start of a new era in corporate reporting? The concept of integrated reporting – the integration of financial and non-financial information in a company’s reporting – now has real impetus 
with the launch of a committee of big-name companies, global accountancy firms, professional bodies and standard-setters to back it and draw up a plan of how it will work. It could range from the maintenance of International Financial Reporting Standards with some environmental and other bolt-ons, right up to a fundamental overhaul of corporate reporting.
We will follow what promises to be a lively debate closely in Accountancy Futures, starting in this edition with a series of articles exploring the concept, including an article by Sir Michael Peat, chairman of the new committee.We also tackle many other topics of interest to finance professionals and business leaders keen to explore what the future holds and how they can shape it.”
The ACCA Accountancy Futures Edition 3 2011 features interviews with the International Integrated Reporting Committee Chairman Sir Michael Peat; Paul Druckman, Chair of the Executive Committee of The Prince of Wales’s Accounting for Sustainability Project, and Co-Chair of the Working Group of the International Integrated Reporting Committee; Neil Stevenson, ACCA’s Executive Director – Brand, and a member of the IIRC Engagement and Communications taskforce; Roger Adams, ACCA’s Director - Special Assignments and The Prince’s Accounting for Sustainabilty Project Committee Member; and Professor Robert Eccles, Senior Lecturer at Harvard Business School and IIRC Member.
