Among the participants of the contest there are leading Russian companies with significant shares in the industry branch segments of the economy, as well as large regional companies, as well as representatives of the large regional business.

Requirements to the information disclosure and to the quality of the report preparation continuously increase from one year to another. Participation in this important federal contest and the objective assessment of the annual report offer the Russian companies the opportunity to decently present themselves to the investment community.

The annual report today is not just a formal financial document and a source of information for the shareholders. Along with the development and establishment in Russia of a civilized relationship between companies and investors, the annual report becomes an indispensable tool for building a positive company's image among potential investors. All this directly contributes to shaping the company's investment attractiveness, increasing the company's capitalization and attracting necessary funding.

The awarding ceremony of the federal contest will take place on September 17 in the framework of the X-th International Investment Forum ceremonial events.
