Accounting firms Professional accounting firms use our services in two capacities: as a firm-wide, multi-user library resource to educate their staff; and as monitoring tool to review Company Reporting’s analysis in respect of their own clients.	Public companies Our services are used by several of the FTSE100 companies. Our end users at these corporations include Finance Directors, Heads of External Reporting or Finance Managers responsible for the reporting processes and annual reports.	Regulators Regulatory bodies are known to use our service as an initial filtering tool for further in-depth reviews and investigations – for example, up to 70% of companies up before the FRRP are reported on by CR 6 months or more beforehand.	Accounting bodies Associations use Company Reporting’s services to keep abreast of changes in accounting practices of large public companies, to train their technical staff and to help answer the reporting queries of their members.
Institutional users Investment managers, research organisations, ratings agencies and analysts use Company Reporting’s content as a regular input to provide high value research and ratings to their customers	Universities and Academics Company Reporting’s content has been used extensively in several accounting books and periodicals. Universities make the service available to academics and students as a widely-used library resource.	Directors and Independents Company directors and Non-Execs use CR as a quick route to keeping an eye on how their companies are performing, whilst other independent users utilise CR to keep abreast of best and bad practice and to inform their client interaction.	Standard setters Standard setters across the globe use Company Reporting's expert analysis and unique perspective not only to inform their own thinking and procedures, but to enhance the quality and depth of financial reporting standards.
