With Corporations Act changes regarding the reduced time in which a company must report following half year or full year end now in force, AIRA conducted a snap poll of its members and IRO's from the top 300 companies to ascertain what impact the shortened reporting period had on reporting company results.

Despite the reported high levels of retail share ownership in Australia, surprisingly little is known about the composition of share ownership and how this composition differs across different types of stocks and different industries. To date, knowledge of share ownership and trends in ownership have been restricted to the information provided in the ASX Share Ownership Survey.

This study has been designed to uncover the information needs of institutional investors and broking analysts, to help our members better understand the impact of communication with analysts on a company’s rating and to identify the most effective sources of communication between listed company’s and analysts.

This Survey has been designed to look at the role of IR in terms of position within the company and the way in which IROs communicate with the market in order to obtain a good understanding of current IR practice in Australasia. This survey replaces the existing survey on IR Practices which was last conducted in 2002. As this is the first year the survey has followed this format, trends have been compared against expectations rather than against previous results.

To assist the AIRA Board to determine how the Association can best help members, we conducted an online survey of members to canvass their views about the issues and challenges that investor relations professionals face. We also invited members to express their ideas for the next stage of AIRA's development.

The survey was designed to find out how investor relations is practiced in Australia and New Zealand in 2002; uncover trends in investor relations practices; and ascertain how practitioners are using technology to facilitate IR.

The results of this survey are designed to paint a clear picture of the typical investor relations officer and the nature of the investor relations industry in 2002.
