NETSUITE NAMED AS ONE OF AMERICA’S MOST TRUSTWORTHY COMPANIES
Assessing Accounting and Governance Risk
Independent US research firm GMI Ratings has named NetSuite among the 100 most trustworthy American companies. The highly respected firm focuses on corporate governance, director/executive compensation and forensic accounting.
GMI Ratings maintains broad coverage of the environmental, social, governance (ESG) and accounting-related risks affecting the performance of public companies. The firm publishes two proprietary ratings of public companies. ESG ratings are established for nearly 6,000 companies worldwide, helping investors assess the sustainable investment value of public companies.
GMI Ratings also determines Accounting and Governance Risk (AGR) ratings for approximately 18,000 public companies worldwide. AGR ratings reflect accounting and governance practices statistically associated with risks likely to cause sharp drops in equity value.
NetSuite highest ranked large company
NetSuite’s AGR score of 99 makes it the highest ranked company (out of nine) with a large market capitalisation. James A Kaplan, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive of GMI Ratings said: “There are two unique factors to this list. First of all, it is compiled using a different set of tools. AGR uses governance and forensic accounting measures that are rarely incorporated in traditional analysis. These extra-financial measures are, in our view, an important factor in trying to understand value. Secondly, to our knowledge there are no other lists that focus on the trustworthiness of a business. There are many lists that focus on other attributes.”
He continues: “Also, we have found evidence that, on balance, the most trustworthy companies outperform their peers over the long term. Of course the greatest benefit to a well-managed company is that their risk of negative events is minimised.”
