Season 2 Episode 1- Be It Resolved: Quarterly reporting is just quarterly chaos

Directors continue to debate the value of quarterly reporting in an era of rapid information flow and market volatility. In this episode of Be It Resolved, host Rahul Bhardwaj, President and CEO of the Institute of Corporate Directors (ICD), speaks with Catherine McCall, CEO of the Canadian Coalition for Good Governance (CCGG), to explore whether quarterly reporting is helping or hindering long-term value creation. With CCGG representing Canada’s leading institutional investors, who collectively manage over $5 trillion in assets, Catherine shares the investor perspective on why timely disclosure remains critical to trust, accountability, and market confidence. The conversation also examines the implications of potential shifts to semi-annual reporting, regulatory developments in Canada and abroad, and the evolving role of boards in maintaining transparency.
