Each year the 大象传媒 reports to licence fee payers and audiences in the Annual Report and Accounts. The Annual Report and Accounts are formally laid in Parliament in accordance with the requirements of the Charter. Usually this happens in July. They are also published on the 大象传媒鈥檚 website.

The Annual Report is published in two parts. Part 1 is the 大象传媒 Trust鈥檚 review and assessment of 大象传媒 performance during the year.
