Abstract

Le rapport annuel est l'élément clef de la communication financière obligatoire des entreprises cotées en bourse. Les normes régissant sa rédaction (forme et contenu) ont été harmonisées en Europe depuis les années 80 afin de garantir une meilleure comparabilité et compréhension des informations communiquées. La comparaison des rapports annuels en France et en Allemagne montre cependant que malgré les normes harmonisées, on aboutit à d'énormes différences tant au niveau du contenu qu' au niveau de la présentation et de la forme des informations financières. L'auteur démontre que bon nombre de ces divergences s'expliquent par une approche et une perception culturelle différente de la communication. A la lumière des résultats de sa recherche, l'auteur jette un regard critique sur la pratique de la communication financière tout en traçant des pistes de réflexion pour rendre plus pertinente la communication institutionnelle au-delà des frontières.The annual report is the key element of corporate financial accounting for companies quoted on the stock market. The norms and standards for obligatory financial communication (content and form) have been harmonized in the eighties in order to guarantee a better comparability and comprehension of communicated corporate disclosure. Despite this harmonization of the accounting principles throughout Europe, a comparison of French and German annual reports shows huge differences regarding the content, the presentation and the form of financial corporate communication. The book shows that numerous diffrences can be explained by different cultural approaches and perceptions of communication. The research results of this book reveal both a critical look at the practice of financial communication and reflexion about the improvement of corporate communication on an international level.
