OSCOLA referencing style is used when submitting work for a module for the School of Law.  Due to the complexity of particular sources, some entries are very detailed.  Make sure to fully read each page.

A company report (or annual report) will have a corporate author. The name of the organisation responsible for the report goes in the author position but need not be repeated as publisher. The date of publication will depend on accounting year.  A pdf version of a company report accessed via the Internet would be identical to a print version and referenced in the same way.

Additional information, including a description of the document, a series number and any other details which may help the reader to locate the source should be referred to in parenthesis after the title.
