Why enter the Australasian Reporting Awards

Entering the Awards allows an organisation to benchmark its annual report against world best practice reporting criteria, and against its industry peers.

A report may achieve a Gold, Silver or Bronze Award, or No Award, according to the extent to which it satisfies the ARA Criteria.

Entering the Awards provides organisations with the opportunity to receive constructive feedback from an ARA Adjudicator to improve the quality of their reporting in the future. This has enabled many organisations to steadily improve their approach to reporting to their stakeholders.


“Entering the Awards has allowed us to benchmark our annual reports against world best-practice reporting criteria, and against our industry peers across the region. The ARA’s educative activities, including individualised constructive advice from the adjudication panels, have helped us to steadily improve our approach to reporting over the years as we continue to strive to provide relevant and fulsome information to our stakeholders.”
