The database from which the R&D Scoreboard is drawn is owned
and maintained by Company Reporting Ltd
The database consists of information from the audited annual reports and accounts of UK and international companies. The UK850 companies are those which are identified by Company Reporting as having an R&D activity and which respond to a request for their annual accounts; there are no known omissions.
In the case of the G1400, the Company Reporting database is supplemented by a feed service from Standard & Poor’s Compustat Global Vantage database to identify potential new entrants to the ranking. The Amadeus Bureau van Dijk’s Orbis database has also been used and recognised international stock exchanges are also monitored for potential new entrants.
