Awards process 2010

The criteria used for each of the awards reflect the measures that CFOs and the investment community tell us they need to assess the performance of organisations.

Whilst each award category has its own specific criteria, the principles of good quality reporting are common to all: better – not more – information; linkage between the information provided and the stated strategy; quantified data that supports the qualitative statements made; metrics that, where relevant, illustrate performance against peers; and, where appropriate, a statement of future ambition.

These attributes are embedded in the benchmarking tool used by PricewaterhouseCoopers subject matter experts who screen the Building Public Trust Awards. This screening generates the short list that is subsequently evaluated by our independent judging panel.
