We have assembled a great team for the “Transparency Scientific Committee” – a nice mix of collegial folks from our field with a wide variety of experience and expertise. As laid out in the Committee Charter, the committee operates independently to update the objective criteria that is used to determine the annual “Transparency Awards” (the Committee also oversees the Awards ). The core of the Committee’s mission is to represent the interests of readers of corporate disclosure – and the Committee is also dedicated to providing disclosure practitioners with opportunities for which they can further their professional development and receive recognition for their efforts in drafting corporate disclosure that is transparent.
