Results The article reports on findings of the research into the development of non-financial reporting, its standardization and corporate practices of using it worldwide and in the Russian Federation. I summarize findings of the analysis of key non-financial reporting models and methodological reporting approaches, which was performed to assess the informative and analytical value of non-financial reporting disclosure of corporate performance.
