GRI Principles on Report Quality
Principles for Defining Report Quality are:
Balance - the report should reflect positive and negative aspects of the organisation’s performance to enable a reasoned assessment of overall performance.
Comparability - the organisation should select, compile and report information consistently.
Accuracy - the reported information should be sufficiently accurate and detailed for the stakeholders to assess the organisation’s performance.
Timeliness - the organisation should report on a regular schedule so that information is available in time for stakeholders to make informed decisions.
Clarity - the organisation should make information available in a manner that is understandable and accessible to stockholders using the report.
Reliability - the organisation should gather, record, compile, analyse and disclose information and processes used in the preparation of a report in a way that they can be subject to examination.
