Abstract

The aim of this paper is to explore the limits in our understanding of the integrated reporting concept. In so doing, the study seeks to address four questions of: (1) what is integrated reporting; (2) why should companies report in an integrated way; (3) who is the audience of integrated reports and who prepares them; (4) how integrated reporting should be implemented. The results of literature review with respect to the research questions reveal existence of two competing and mutually exclusive research streams: business-case and sustainability. The paper identifies challenges for further development of integrated reporting and opportunities for future studies.
