This is the weirdest annual report I have ever seen. No text, no tables, all of it is like this:



Working on a bank's annual report is probably not a job comic strip makers get offered often.

And to make it even weirder they forgot to translate some of the headings and lines from Russian.

I wish Goldman Sachs published their annual report in this format.

I don't have the words to express my wonder at this object. It is amazing!

I am deeply sad that KPMG were unable to rise to the occasion and produce an auditor's report in a matching format.

Indeed. And KPMG usually do not seem to shy away from the weird. I remember the time when their German home page had an auto-play song, smth along the lines of "KPMGeeeee, as good as it can beeeee". They did take it down rather quickly though after FT made fun of them.

I remember that song! Much embarrassment to the UK offices. :-D

No fucking way!!! Are you sure this isn't an April Fool's joke????

This is a gold mine. Thanks for sharing!

[topum.livejournal.com]

It isn't. I could not believe as well at first.

Creating that annual report would be super fun! And reading it would be waaaaayyyyy more fun than the usual sort the banks get.

[topum.livejournal.com]

It would be way more fun indeed but I think it would be way less useful to analysts too. )

Yes, I'm sure they would be quite disappointed by the lack of rows of figures!
