NIRI encourages companies to define their own unique set of financial and non- financial metrics. NIRI supports the notion that undue volatility around a short-term focus is undesirable and that all audiences - investors, financial analysts, the media - should focus on the long-term value drivers of businesses. The purpose of this policy statement, adopted by the NIRI Board of Directors in July 2008, is to enunciate this view and share it with external audiences.Fri, 07 Oct 2011 10:54:42 GMThttp://niri.org/Main-Menu-Category/advocate/Presidents-Note.aspxWed, 15 Jul 2009 20:06:51 GMT
