Reporta a


Explanation:
Reporta a los accionistas y al director.

Seguro.

Es un anglicismo, vale, pero aceptado en el María Moliner. Y la mejor -si no única- traducción. En el mundo empresarial, sobre todo en grandes empresas, es muy habitual usar esta palabra. Cualquier otra sonaría extraña en este contexto.

Una pena, pero el inglés está penetrando y mucho en el lenguaje de las empresas.
