In 1950 the ARA Awards were introduced as the Annual Report Awards by a group of business professionals concerned that the annual reports at that time were not adequate for informing stakeholders about the purpose, activities and performance of organisations. Later they were named the Australasian Reporting Awards to accommodate entries from New Zealand and countries in the Asia Pacific Region.
Congratulations to
Guardians of New Zealand Superannuation
2025 Report of the Year
“This the fourth time the Guardians have won the ARA Report of the Year award over the past five years. Clearly, they continue to work hard to maintain their very high standard. The report is clearly purposely designed to engage readers and effectively communicate the organisation’s messages. It ticks all the boxes in terms of the elements the ARA Coordinators like to see in an annual report and fully satisfies all aspects of the ARA criteria. The simplicity of the reporting on financial aspects makes it customer centric and easy to understand, instead of a boring response to legislative requirements. Well-designed graphic elements make a major contribution to engaging and informing the reader.”
Thank you for celebrating with us in 2025
