It's the most wonderful time of the year if you're a shareholder of a publicly listed company... Following the end of the financial year, businesses big and not-so-big publicly disclose the details of their financial performance and outline their plans for the future. It's called reporting season and it's a big generator of business news stories in August, so in this Squiz Shortcut, we'll get across what it's all about and why it matters.
