Reporting structure
Just over a quarter of Asian IR teams report directly to their CEO, while 53 percent report to the CFO. There is a greater tendency for Asian IR to report to the CEO and a lesser tendency to report to the CFO than is the global norm. Reporting structures for Asian IR teams vary greatly according to company size. Reporting directly to the CEO decreases as cap size increases, from three in 10 small-cap teams to just 11 percent of mega-cap teams. Asian mega-cap teams are also the least likely to report to their CFO, with 45 percent reporting to a senior management member other than the CEO or CFO.
