How to give credit to specialized sources, such as company financials and reports:

• You can follow the rules for either books or websites when you are citing company reports depending on whether you have the PDF of the original publication or the online text only.
   
• These materials don't have personal authors, they have corporate authors, i.e. the name of the company that puts together the report is the author's name for citation purposes.
