Annual reports take a lot of work and for many small and medium businesses across the world, that time+cost puts annual report writing and design out of reach.
At Andrew Pegler Media, we’re changing that. AI tools are making annual reports faster and more accessible, from cleaner data presentation to click-and-drag design processes.
Here are five ways AI is making a difference.
1. Streamlining report writing and structuring
Plain English reports are easier to use and understandable. AI tools can make quick work of simplifying heavy industry jargon into plain English principles.
Got a brand tone of voice and style guide? AI reporting tools can generate the copy you want tailored to how you want to sound.
AI tools can also intuitively structure annual reports. You can fully generate a table of contents and examine the information flow in seconds.
2. Better data analytics and presentation
AI is making information-rich annual reports easier to read and easier to use. With AI tools like our proprietary ReportNavigatorAI™, readers can ask questions in plain English and get plain English answers back, visualise data and converse in 50+ languages.
3. Faster graphic design
Annual reports need to look clean, readable and on-brand but it’s easy to overthink the design process. AI helps here too. AI annual report graphic design tools can pull in your brand style guide and apply click-and-drag design interfaces. And with auto-centering and other auto-editing tech, designers can do mock-ups and final designs before you can say “click.”
4. Faster compliance reviews
Before publication, every annual report needs a QA for accuracy, grammar, spelling and compliance.
AI speeds up compliance reviews by automatically flagging potential issues rather than having someone manually comb through every page.
AI compliance tools can scan your report for regulatory inconsistencies, outdated rules, and non-compliant content, essentially automated fact-checking with a compliance focus!
Importantly, these tools don’t replace a human in the loop, but they do significantly cut time on manual proofreading and auditing.
5. Automatic translation and localisation
Finally, AI translation tools can automatically and accurately translate reports into multiple languages.
With AI localisation capabilities, report writers can align translated language with cultural and local regulatory contexts. AI localisation tools can do all of this while still adhering to your brand’s tone of voice and style guidelines, supporting business owners in publishing reports for global audiences without needing to employ a translator for each market.
