1. What does the term integrated reporting mean? What differences are there from the

standard financial-based annual reports companies have issued in the past? What are the

similarities?

2. Are public accounting firms the appropriate choice to do sustainability assurance audits? Why

or why not? Who else (profession, industry, etc.) might be equipped to assess some of the non-

financial aspects of integrated reporting?

3. There is a concern that Integrated Reports are simply another form of advertising, as firms will

only report on POSITIVE social, economic, and financial results. What could be done to the

process to assure the public that all results, both good and bad, will be reported on?

4. Would you use sustainability reports, in addition to financial reports, to make investment

choices? Why or why not?

5. Should KPMG pursue providing integrated assurance to Philips, vs. the limited assurance

they are currently providing? Explain your answer.
