Smart Academy^TM

Capacity building that empowers report preparers

Your Integrated Reporting Training Partner

The Smart Academy^TM was formed to help bridge the gap between reality and the ideal. It was our solution to the problem of how to drive the annual reporting sector further along on its journey towards an ideal destination. Keep in mind that we are in a world where annual report preparers are still very much employees drawn together in an ad hoc manner to “get that annual report done”.

We turn a company’s in-house talent into annual report specialists. Our on-the-job training covers the creative and technical skills needed to produce an annual report. For example, as far back as 2000, Smart Media partnered with a client to highlight the role of customers and relationships with them in the value creation process. Going further, in 2011, stakeholders were identified as forms of off-balance sheet capitals in Asia’s first integrated report using what became our own Smart Integrated Reporting Methodology^TM. Later we followed the IIRC’s <IR> Framework, while also helping report preparers to understand and calculate their own carbon footprint as early as 2008.

At the Smart Academy^TM, we focus on developing individuals as much as corporates. We do so through a combination of workshops and on-the-job teaching, with experienced and skilled experts at the helm of our curricula. Smart Media is an <IR> Training Foundation Partner.
