Annual Report Award
Annual report wins gold at national awards
9 June 2011
St Johnof God Health
Care has received a Gold Award from the Australasian Reporting
Awards for its Annual Report
2009-2010.
The Gold Award, the highest possible for an
annual report, is awarded for reports that:
- achieve overall excellence in annual
reporting;
- provide high-quality coverage of most aspects
of the awards’ criteria;
- provide full disclosure of key aspects of its
core business;
- address current legislative and regulatory
requirements; and
- are a model for other peer reports.
St John of God Health Care’s Group Director
Marketing and Public Relations, Fiona Athersmith, said the award
was particularly gratifying as prior to this year the
organisation’s report had consistently received Silver Awards.
“We put a lot of thought and work into our
annual reports and to finally achieve a Gold Award is important
recognition of our commitment to transparency and excellence in
reporting,” she said.
“Our annual report is an important document
for our key stakeholders, both internal and external, and also
provides an important record of our organisation for generations to
come.”
St John of God Health Care received its Gold
Award in Melbourne at the 61st Annual Awards
Presentation Dinner in June. The awards are a measure of standards
achieved rather than a competition.
The Australasian Reporting Awards is
an independent not-for-profit organisation supported by volunteer
professionals from the business community and professional bodies
concerned about the quality of financial and business
reporting.
