Abstract

La pratique traditionnelle des sociétés ouvertes à faire parvenir, de façon systématique, un rapport annuel global à leurs actionnaires est en voie de disparition en Amérique du Nord. En effet, plusieurs sociétés américaines et canadiennes, sous prétexte de déposer leurs informations comptables et financières auprès des autorités en valeurs mobilières ou sur leur site Web, abandonnent la production et l'envoi direct du rapport annuel global à leurs actionnaires. Une confusion règne entre la responsabilité d'information et la responsabilité de communication. Dans le contexte actuel de surveillance et d'amélioration de la gouvernance des entreprises, les sociétés abandonnant l'envoi systématique d'un rapport annuel global à leurs actionnaires s'acquittent-elles vraiment de leur responsabilité de communication? C'est la question à laquelle cet article tente de répondre.
