Wizpresso Partners with HKMA as the AI & Data Partner for the 2025 Best Annual Reports Awards (BARA)

Wizpresso is proud to serve as the AI and Data Partner of the Hong Kong Management Association (HKMA) for the Best Annual Reports Awards (BARA) 2025, celebrating excellence in corporate disclosure, transparency, and governance.

Organized annually since 1973, BARA has become one of the most respected platforms for recognizing outstanding annual reports among listed companies and non-profit organizations in Hong Kong. The Awards aim to help organizations communicate their performance, governance, and future prospects more effectively, promoting best practices in corporate reporting and stakeholder engagement.

This year’s competition welcomed 88 entries across two categories — 60 reports in the General Category and 28 from non-profit-making and charitable organizations. Through this partnership, Wizpresso leveraged its proprietary AI-driven platform to support the judging panel in evaluating submissions in line with HKMA’s established criteria. The technology streamlined the review process by enhancing the accessibility, comparability, and analytical depth of the reports, advancing the adjudication process through data-driven insights.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all awardees for their exemplary commitment to transparency and disclosure.
