April Annual Reporting


Every figure your annual report needs, on a single platform.

Gathered from your own data across the year and turned into measurable business performance.

When the auditor asks, you hand over one pack.

What the platform collects, and where it maps

One data set, mapped to every framework you report to.

A listed company draws on the same core set each year. April Annual Reporting gathers each figure once, then reuses it across all the frameworks it serves.

Financial

Your audited financial figures, analysed for the report, from year-on-year movements and margins to gearing, segments and five-year summaries, to SLFRS, LKAS and IFRS.

Environmental

Emissions across Scope 1, 2 and 3, energy, water and waste, with intensity and targets, to SLFRS S2, the GHG Protocol, GRI, SASB, TNFD and ISO 14001.

Social and people

Headcount, gender split, turnover, training hours and health and safety, to GRI, ISO 45001 and the gender-parity code.

Governance

Board composition and independence, board gender diversity, related-party transactions and committees, to the CSE Listing Rules, the Code of Best Practice on Corporate Governance and the Companies Act.

Operations

Segment performance, capacity and the sector figures your industry reports, feeding the integrated report.

Mapped to every framework

  • SLFRS, LKAS and IFRS (financial reporting)
  • GRI
  • SLFRS S1 and S2 (ISSB, sustainability)
  • SASB
  • GHG Protocol
  • Integrated Reporting Framework
  • CSE Listing Rules
  • Code of Best Practice on Corporate Governance
  • The Companies Act
  • CA Sri Lanka Gender Parity
  • TNFD
  • ISO 14001 and ISO 45001
  • UN Global Compact and the SDGs

For listed companies, reporting is no longer optional

The disclosure now sits alongside your final financial accounts.

Under the CSE Listing Rules and the rollout of SLFRS S1 and S2, mandatory sustainability reporting is expanding across the Sri Lankan market. Reported well, it becomes an advantage rather than a cost, a current read on where your company stands.

  • SLFRS S1 and S2 took effect on 1 January 2025.
  • The first 100 listed entities by market capitalisation report for 2025.
  • All Main Board listed companies follow for years beginning on or after 1 January 2026.
  • The disclosure sits under the CSE Listing Rules.

The problem

Months spent assembling a year that was never properly recorded.

The figures sit in scattered spreadsheets, pulled together against the deadline. A formula breaks quietly, nobody notices until the auditor does, and one year stops tallying with the next.

0%

of companies still run sustainability on spreadsheets.

3–4

months to ready a year's data by hand, after the year closes.

In our experience.

That means most of the market is one broken formula away from an audit failure, a delayed report, or a penalty. The platform replaces the year-end panic with a continuous, verifiable record, kept month by month, so the rush is gone.

Live from your own data

More than a hundred and fifty of the figures a report needs compute themselves.

Headcount, turnover and training hours among them, pulled from the live record as the year runs. The self-computing figures become a by-product of running the company normally, while everything else is captured as each month closes, rather than scrambled for at the deadline.

Live through the year

Never a year-end surprise.

Knowing your numbers is one thing. Steering by them is another. A live dashboard tracks your environment, people and finance metrics as each month is entered, each with its variance against last year and a trend line. Set a target and it carries your current pace forward, flagging whether you are on track, an indication to guide you rather than a forecast.

Why the numbers hold up

A disclosure is only as good as the record behind it.

Five things that make the numbers hold up when they are questioned.

Tailored to your industry

Setup turns on the exact disclosures your sector must make, so a factory’s are not a bank’s, and every item that applies is present.

Reduces human error

The typos, broken formulas and missing entries that spreadsheets invite are taken out, because the figures come from the record rather than being re-keyed.

Built for third-party assurance

Your auditor gets a read-only view: every figure with its formula, its exact inputs, its source document and its sign-off, so assurance is faster and cleaner.

Data governance enforced

Each preparer can edit only their own area’s figures, and access is protected by multi-factor sign-in.

A full audit trail

Who changed what, and when. Any change after a period closes is logged as a restatement with a reason, on a record that verifies unbroken.

Who asks for it

The answer is ready for whoever asks.

Your board, the independent auditors, the shareholders and the lenders, the exchange, and overseas buyers with a code of conduct to satisfy. When any of them asks, the answer is ready on the day, rather than assembled months after the year closes. Answered today, and held on a record that stands for years.

What it does, and what stays yours

The figures are ready. The report stays yours.

April Annual Reporting works from your audited accounts and your own records, bringing the financial, environmental, social and governance figures into one place, computed and kept ready for assurance. It assembles the report, it does not do your accounting, and the final report stays entirely in your team’s hands.
