CIRI Resources are "Must Haves"

Now that we are in the midst of performance review and budgeting season, CIRI has valuable resources that you will want to include in your arsenal of IR resources. Don't forget to include CIRI's "must haves" - the Guide to Developing an Investor Relations Program and the 2012 IR Compensation and Responsibilities Survey. These resources will help you set up and maintain an effective IR program and quantify and qualify your value to your organization.

Guide to Developing an Investor Relations Program

No comprehensive program exists that teaches the unique combination of skills and knowledge required to be successful in investor relations. Those new to the IR function are often overwhelmed by the responsibilities and uncertain where to begin, and what questions to ask.

The first edition of this Guide to Developing an Investor Relations Program was commissioned by CIRI in 2001 to assist investor relations (IR) professionals in setting up and maintaining an effective IR program. The second edition was issued in 2005 and reflected changes to regulatory requirements, including new continuous disclosure and corporate governance disclosure obligations. This third edition reflects changes to regulatory requirements since 2005 and the evolution of IR practices and communications channels in the current environment.

This publication is available in both hard copy or electronic format, and is free to CIRI members.

2012 IR Compensation and Responsibilities Survey

The 2012 survey demonstrated some interesting shifts in the profession, including:
  • Evolution and elevation of the IR profession
  • IROs increase strategic influence by providing information and insights
  • IR role becoming more global
  • IR compensation is multi-faceted and complex
New to this edition of the survey, are interviews with IROs from diverse sectors, market caps, geography, years of IR experience and educational background. These were conducted to identify current trends within the profession as well as expectations on how the role will evolve in the future.
