Annual Report Writing Services

Australian Super is Australia’s largest super fund, with approximately one in every ten Australian workers being members. Working closely with its investor relations team, APM wrote / edited Australian Super’s annual report for three consecutive years via a mix of senior management interviews, supplied information and draft content. Each report outlined the Fund’s performance during the year and how it met the challenges and opportunities presented by the domestic and global investment environment. It also covered Australian Super’s strategy, governance and financial and non-financial activities. APM’s rigorous project management methodology ensured each report project ran to schedule with very high editorial standards.

Techcombank is Vietnam’s second most profitable bank and trades on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange under as TCB. APM has written five consecutive annual reports for TCB in plain English for its global investors which are then used for Vietnamese translation.

APM writes each report using a mix of interviews with the CEO and other stakeholders and by finessing rough content written by staff for whom English is a second language.

APM’s rigorous project management methodology ensured all four annual reports were delivered on time and on budget.

NSWALC has commissioned APM to write and design its last six annual reports.

Copywriting, editing and project management

APM organised the structure of the report and the information for each section to achieve a sequential flow of content. Both structural and plain-English copy editing were required on supplied text.

This included rationalising repetitive information to form section introductions and overviews while ensuring a consistent, clear voice throughout. We also created copy from primary sources and interviews, including with the Chair and the CEO.

Design

Each year, APM’s design for NSWALC’s annual report has sought to showcase Aboriginal culture and heritage. Colour palettes, typography and design elements were chosen to reflect the Aboriginal landscape and traditions. Using elements of Aboriginal art to create graphics and icons, and sourcing appropriate stock imagery, we’ve taken the design of the report from simply meeting statutory requirements to becoming the flagship of the organization.
