There is a discernible trend among FTSE250 companies to invest in the online medium to extend and enhance accessibility to their Annual Reports without investing first in any improvement to the actual narrative content and to the strategic value the narrative adds.

International Personal Finance is a notable exception to this trend, improving significantly the standard of its narrative content as well as its use of electronic media in its 2009 Annual Report.

International Personal Finance showed a high standard of integration in its application of online and offline media, excellent navigability and a good standard of creativity in its 2009 online HTML version. These efforts contributed to boosting the enhanced strategic value added in the narrative content.
