Development of key performance indicators of capital market-oriented entities in the Prime Standard since the introduction of DRS 20

Abstract

This paper examines the performance indicators of 168 Prime Standard entities since the introduction of DRS 20, focusing on the core question of how the use of performance indicators has changed over time. For this purpose, we compare the published key performance indicators from various companies in different years to point out existing differences. Furthermore, we examine which KPIs are changed most often and how frequently businesses adjust their performance indicators. The companies examined are differentiated according to size and sector.
