Data Access

At the heart of CorporateRegister.com is our commitment to providing resources on CR reporting companies and their reports, including data on trends, assurance types, global standards, and other relevant topics.

Our site provides basic access to company and report profiles for our registered users through a Personal Account.

For those users who wish to use our resources more intensively, we offer Memebership subscriptions.

Personal Account

CorporateRegister.com users are given a free Personal Account when they register, which offers access to basic resources on our site. This type of account is not intended for intensive, systematic, or commercial use, for which the free Personal Account must be upgraded to a Professional or Academic Account.

To sign up for your free Personal Account, simply visit www.corporateregister.com to register.

Membership

About Membership

Who can apply for Membership?

Membership is available at two levels:
a) Associate membership - for non-reporting organisations, service providers and academics.
b) Full membership - for reporting organisations.

Membership is on annual subscription.

What are the benefits of Membership?

All members have access to the following:

1) Advanced searches. Instead of the single search field available to non-members, (our 'smart search'), members can choose from many drop-downs, giving comprehensive, precise searches. For example members may search by company name, by sector or sub-sector, year, country and in any combination. There are several additional search fields. Alternatively members may continue to use the 'smart search'.

2) Statistics. We have an extensive statistics section with over 150 individual charts illustrating the data in our database (growth over time, by country, sector, report types, assurance, use of frameworks...). Many of these charts are updated every few days. This content is unique and gives an overview of our directory of non-financial reporting over two decades.

3) PDF Search Tool. We index the content of our many tens of thousands of reports. You can search this content by individual word or phrase - an invaluable research tool.

See illustrations of these benefits in our latest CRRA report, available from our free downloads section or follow this link

In addition to these benefits, full members have access to the following:

4) Each full member will be linked to their specific business sector. This means full members will automatically join a group of reporting peers, and can contact each other should they wish to. They can also adjust their own settings, so if they do not wish to identify themselves and be open to contact, they can switch them off.

5) Full members will see a feed of new reports from their own sector - the best way to stay informed of what is happening.

6) In additional to the many charts available to all members, full members will have access to detailed charts and statistics for their own specific sector. These charts are not available anywhere else.

7) Full members will benefits from significant discounts on our services, such as our standard package for ReportAlerts and news.

8) We will soon be launching some exciting new reporting services for our full members.

Distribution

We offer announcement services to our targeted CR audience, including report and event announcements, news that features on our homepage, and hard-copy mailings.

VideoReportAlert

What is it?
VideoReportAlert is a video announcement service for CR reports. Our director Paul Scott will make a circa five minute video introduction to your report, showcasing its highlights. Distribution through a range of online channels then gets your report to the people who matter.

What do I get?
In addition to being embedded in your CorporateRegister.com report profile, your VideoReportAlert will be distributed throughout 3BL Media's multi-channel distribution network. This network is designed to showcase video content as well as traditionally formatted news such as press releases and other announcements.

- Affiliate network of CR-focused sites that run 3BL Media's rss and mrss feeds
- Aggregators including Technorati, Lexis Nexis, Comtex helping to ensure content is indexed and searchable through all major, relevant websites and portals

How does it work?
1. You provide a copy of your report (or link to an online report) together with a summary of the highlights and features that you would like to ensure your stakeholders know about.
2. Paul Scott reads the report and using your brief, prepares and records an approximately five minute video presenting the key points, adding pertinent professional commentary.
3. 3BL Media edits the video and sends to you for your concurrence. Once approved, the video is distributed through all 3BL Media distribution points, and a link visible to over 38,000 registered CorporateRegister.com users.
4. CorporateRegister.com also hosts the video together with your report on the unique page reserved for your report on the CorporateRegister.com website.
5. You can retain a copy of the video for embedding on your corporate website, or for use in internal or employee communications.
6. You enjoy the wide exposure of your VideoReportAlert and subsequent readership of your report.

With fast approval at your end, our commitment is to have your video on the screens of your stakeholders within seven working days of accepting your order.

Benchmarking and Best Practice

Because of our status as the most comprehensive global source of CR reporting companies and their reports, we maintain our position as an authority on CR reporting benchmarking and best practice.

Every year, we conduct the only independent annual global awards for CR reporting, the CRRA. We also draw on our extensive CR network to bring stakeholders the most relevant information on CR reporting, through such resources as Expert Reviews and research-based publications.

CR Reporting Awards (CRRA)

The CR Reporting Awards (CRRA) are the only independent annual global awards for CR reporting, founded by CorporateRegister.com in 2007.

All companies with recent CR reports are invited to participate through a Call for Entries in late September. Voting by the global CR community takes place between October and January. The awards culminate in a CR Forum and Gala Evening in Spring every year.

For more information on the CRRA, including previous winners, along with entry and voting guidelines, please visit: www.corporateregister.com/crra.

Expert Reviews

Expert Reviews are posted on CorporateRegister.com by a panel of independent third parties who each provide monthly reviews of selected CR reports on site.

While CorporateRegister.com supplies a framework and guidelines for the development of these reviews, responsibility for their content lies entirely with the reviewers. To read Expert Reviews, please visit www.corporateregister.com/reviews.

If you are a CR professional interested in contributing to Expert Reviews, please contact us. info@corporateregister.com / +44 20 7253 8919.
