Corporate Access I report now available

IR Magazine has released a new report examining virtual corporate access and its impact upon IR. It is the first of two corporate access reports to be published by IR Magazine this summer. The report investigates the practical effects of the virtual format on meetings and events with investors, how investors view these interactions and whether this affects their investment decisions.
