6-week reporting pilot; Co-ordinator agreed owner narrative sections and sign-off sequence; the colleague drafted source-linked packs for review.

02What it owns
Reports toAsset Director, dotted line to Head of Investor Relations on owner-facing narrative.
Owns
  • Monthly owner pack — source-linked narrative drafted ahead of review with the agreed section order
  • Variance commentary — every line against budget and prior period annotated with the underlying record
  • Evidence trail — each claim backed by a permalink to the source export, dashboard or workbook
  • Sign-off log — who reviewed which section, when, and against which version of the pack
  • Pre-meeting brief — owner-facing top-line and exception list surfaced 48 hours before the investor call
Does not do
  • Final sign-off — the Asset Director and Head of Investor Relations approve before anything leaves the team
  • Direct-to-investor sending — packs go out only after the IR lead reviews and presses send
  • Forecast or strategy commentary — surfaces the facts; humans write the forward look
Done looks like

The monthly pack is built once, reviewed in place and signed off section by section. The investor meeting opens on decisions, not reconciliations, and any follow-up question lands on a working source link in minutes.
