Bahrain Bourse (BHB) in cooperation with J.P. Morgan organized on Monday 26th May 2014 for the fourth consecutive year, a four day program on Investor Relations (IR) best practices. Participants from listed companies on BHB along with others from GCC stock exchanges and institutions attended the Program.
The Investor Relations Program is held as part of Bahrain Bourse’s plan to develop investor relations and promote best practices among listed companies in the financial markets.
The IR program, which is conducted by a group of specialists, covered a multitude of topics including IR principles and techniques, IR communication tools, valuation, corporate governance, financial statements.
Throughout the sessions, the program presents a number of practical IR case studies and explained the importance of IR for listed companies and financial markets. In addition, the program clarifys the structure of IR in a company’s organizational chart, the responsibilities, objectives, and the role of Investor Relations serving as an effective communication channel between the company and other related parties. This will ensure smooth flow of accurate information in a way that will contribute to providing those parties with information that will enable them to take sound decisions concerning the company.
The program provides a unique opportunity for participants to share their experience and various topics related to IR by interacting with each other and the IR specialists.
Bahrain Bourse starts organizing the IR program annually following the signing of an MOU with J.P. Morgan in May 2011.
