Insight Into

During the late nineteenth and early twentieth century penologists began to explore the possibility that environment and upbringing, as opposed to individual choice, were the causes criminality. The Prison Commissioners for Scotland, the devolved body who administered prisons north of the border, were not immune to this wider trend. Smith has argued that from the 1890s onwards the Commissioners began to accept that criminality was caused by social problems, namely alcoholism, but also parental neglect, poor education and poverty. In their efforts to test these new criminological theories, the Commissioners began to make more careful enquiries into the backgrounds of their charges. From 1896 to 1931 the Commissioners interviewed a sample of prisoners each year and included the findings in their annual report. Although the main focus of these interviews was on the upbringing and drinking habits of prisoners; by the 1900s the Commissioners seem to have added irreligion to the growing list of etiological causes of crime, and from 1903 onwards prisoners were asked to give details on their religious habits. Although it is debateable how much the Prison Commissioners revealed about the relationship between religion and crime, they did however provide a useful insight into the religiosity of the average prisoner.

In 1995, a nearly complete collection of the annual reports of the earliest interstate and common carrier railroad in the U. S., the Baltimore and Ohio (B&O), was rediscovered in the archival collection at the Bruno Library of the University of Alabama. Dating from the company's inception in 1827 to its acquisition by the Chessie System in 1962, the reports present a unique opportunity for the exploration, study, and analysis of early U.S. corporate disclosure practice. This paper represents a study of the annual report information made publicly available by one of America's first railroads, and one of the first modern U.S. corporations. In this paper, early annual reports of the B&O which detail its formation, construction, and operation are catalogued as to content and evaluated. Mandated in the corporate charter, the annual “statement of affairs” presented by the management and directors to stockholders is studied as a process and as a product that instigated the institutional corporate practice recognized today as “annual reporting.” Using a single company methodology for assessment of reporting follows a pattern developed by Claire [1945] in his analysis of U.S. Steel and utilized by other researchers. This study demonstrates the use of archival information to improve understanding about the origins and contents of early annual reports and, therein, related disclosure forms.

Disclosure Responses

In this study we consider how a discrediting event such as an environmental fine influences the quality of environmental disclosures in subsequent annual reports. Starting from prior work in the areas of impression management along with environmental and social responsibility disclosures, we propose that environmental disclosures provide organizations with a method of “managing” such discrediting events. Using a matched-pair sample of publicly traded Canadian companies that have been subject to environmental fines and those that have not; we analyze changes in pre-fine and post-fine environmental disclosure quality. After controlling for firm-specific characteristics, the provided results are consistent with this explanation.

Reporting Practice

PurposeDisclosure research has argued that visuals are increasingly used in annual reports as a way to increase readability of the annual report, but comparatively little is known about of diagrams compared to graphs and photographs. The purpose of this paper is to provide a historical account of visuals use in corporate disclosure, with an emphasis on diagrams, to show changes from the 1940s until present-day reporting.Design/methodology/approachVisual research methods were applied to analyze how diagrams, photographs and graphs were used in 69 annual reports of the Swedish telecom company Ericsson.FindingsPhotographs have been used with increasing frequency since the 1950s. Graph and diagram use has increased significantly since the 1990s while photograph use remained stable, suggesting that graphs and diagrams increasingly complement photographs for visually representing the organization in corporate disclosure. Factors explaining the case company’s development include both internal (performance, individual preferences, shifting from a manufacturing-based strategy to a service-based strategy) and external (legislation, transformation of the telecom industry).Originality/valueVisual elements in annual reports are increasingly oriented toward immaterial representations of the organization’s standings and identity and diagrams are increasingly used and contribute to this. This finding motivates further research about diagram use in corporate communication, such as how different diagram types convey accounting messages, and whether diagrams serve as impression management devices. For regulators, it will be important to follow the emerging trend of diagram use, since it is becoming part of reporting practice.

Regional Development Bank

This study aims to provide analysis and understanding of gender representation in the annual report of the Regional Development Bank (BPD) in Indonesia. The objects of this research are PT Bank Aceh and PT Bank DKI Jakarta. The study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with secondary data types obtained from the Annual Report of PT Bank Aceh and Bank DKI. Data collection is done by documentation techniques by collecting photographs of humans in the company's annual report. The analytical method used is content analysis. The steps of this research are: 1) identifying photos of people in the annual report, 2) grouping photos by employees or non-employees, only men, only women, or men and women together, 3) overview of the quantity of photos by group, 4) interpret the results of research found in the annual report. The results showed that gender portrayals in the BPD Aceh and DKI Jakarta annual reports did not support equality between men and women. Employee photos in the annual report are dominated by male gender compared to female. Through analysis of gender photographs described in the annual report it was found that male gender dominates in terms of roles, places, clothing and body language. But in the analysis of the relative position, men and women are shown standing or sitting equally.

Objective To report the poisoning data of Hong Kong Poison Information Centre (HKPIC) in 2006. Methods From 1st January 2006 to 31st December 2006, all poisoning cases received by HKPIC were retrieved from its database (DATOX) for analysis. Results A total of 2555 poisoned cases were analysed. There were 1051 male and 1466 female patients and nearly 60% of the cases were between 20 and 49 years old. Common causes of exposure were suicidal attempts and accidents. Paracetamol, sedative-hypnotic and household products were common sources of poison exposure. The majority of the patients were managed conservatively, with 18.8% and 10.5% treated by decontamination and antidotes respectively. Most cases had uneventful recovery; less than 1% of the poison exposure resulted in death and about 5% of the exposure had major outcomes. Nearly half of the cases were managed in the accident & emergency department without hospitalisation. Conclusions This annual report provides updated epidemiological information on poisoning in Hong Kong. Subsequent annual reports would provide important information on the trend of poisoning pattern and may guide further strategies in poison control and prevention in Hong Kong.
