When advising clients on market risk, we often need to check multiple organisations for their details. However, sometimes the information is missing or incorrect. Therefore, we want a way to easily check a stock market (the NZX in New Zealand) and find out which company details are available or missing. For each company on the Main board market we gathered data on the follwing:
- Chief Executive officer
- Media contact information
- Auditor
- Solicitor
- Chief Finacial officer
- Website
- Screenshot of the website homepage
This data was then input into a Excel spreadsheet and a PDF report was created to summarise the data.
