A campaign to force companies to report their earnings country-by-country has been backed by a key European think tank.
The Guardian reports that the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), will release guidelines aimed at encouraging companies to break down their earnings by country.

The International Accounting Standards Board has been debating whether to introduce the new standard for extractive industries.
However critics say country-by-country disclosures would be of limited benefit and would only add to lengthy disclosures in company reports.
