Streamlining Corporate Reporting: Insights from Tangelo & London Stock Exchange
In conversation with the London Stock Exchange’s Emma Sisson, Erwin Groenendal, Co-Founder and Product Evangelist at Tangelo, breaks down how public companies can transform their corporate reporting process to be faster, more collaborative, and future-ready.
In today’s evolving regulatory landscape, listed companies are under increasing pressure to deliver transparent, compliant, and timely reports. But the traditional way of doing things—relying on static documents, siloed teams, and last-minute sprints—no longer cuts it. In this interview hosted by London Stock Exchange, Erwin Groenendal shares practical ways companies can modernize their reporting approach using the Tangelo platform.
Here are the key takeaways:
1. Avoid Bottlenecks by Empowering Teams
One of the biggest barriers to efficient reporting is the reliance on a handful of individuals to compile and finalize reports. Erwin highlights how enabling internal teams—whether it’s Investor Relations, Finance, or Sustainability—to contribute autonomously reduces delays and spreads accountability across the organization.
“You can’t have one or two people responsible for everything anymore,” says Erwin. “With the right tooling, each team can work in parallel, and that changes everything.”
2. Stay Compliant—Without the Chaos
With regulations like CSRD rapidly evolving, companies face the dual challenge of meeting requirements while staying in control of their reporting process. Tangelo helps organizations adapt by centralizing content, reducing duplication, and offering a single source of truth.
“Companies want to be compliant, but they also want to keep their sanity. That’s where automation and smart workflows come in.”
3. The Shift to Digital Reporting
Erwin emphasizes that leading companies are moving away from static Word and Excel documents toward dynamic, digital-first environments. This shift not only reduces risk but also ensures consistency and clarity across all reporting channels.
“Digital reporting is not a buzzword—it’s a necessity,” says Erwin. “It allows for version control, collaboration, and real-time updates.”
4. Break Down Silos to Speed Up Output
Traditional reporting often relies on sequential workflows—one team finishes before the next begins. Tangelo enables simultaneous collaboration, shortening the timeline and improving accuracy.
“The more you can work together in real-time, the faster and better the outcome,” explains Erwin.
5. Future-Proof Your Reporting Process
Looking ahead, Erwin urges companies to take proactive steps now to stay ahead of investor expectations and regulatory demands. This includes investing in scalable platforms, standardizing internal processes, and building a culture of cross-functional collaboration.
“Reporting will only get more complex,” says Erwin. “But with the right foundation, you can face the future with confidence.”
