...The document that I am analyzing is a memo sent out to the department heads whom was written by Debora Lynn; a manager at Crafston Solutions, Inc. The purpose of this document is to inform and provide information to employees about the company policy regards to annual bonus leave for employees with outstanding performance. The purpose of the document was fulfilled because it gave out important information only, it got straight to the point, and it also was appropriate for any audience to read. Even though this document is from 2006, it is a memo that I found to be quite relevant and well- organized. Memos relay information, give directives, and provide instructions. Information about the subject is presented in a straightforward, helpful manner. The document is very successfully written because it has a readable style, the tone of the piece is appropriate for the audience, and it also has sensible organization. In this analysis, I evaluated the document on regards to how successful it was and by bringing in examples to back up my statements. The style of the document is readable for the audiences that it was intended for, which are the department heads and the employees. The memo is very clear and concise. It was written in a way for a semi technical reader to understand. (The bonus leave will be accounted for separately and will remain available until used, notwithstanding any other limitation of the total number of days of annual leave that may be carried forward.

The IS was intended to facilitate information to provide the stakeholder the ability to make better decisions and actions.

...valid opinions and evidence? Writing for the Audience Since the goal of technical writing is information transfer (sending a clear, noisefree message), what you say and how you say it depends on the audience. The nature of the audience determines the level of technical detail, the amount of “context/background” information you provide, and the organization of the document. It is important to understand who is reading the document so that the information you convey is transferred effectively. As a writer, it is crucial to have an awareness of the reader’s knowledge, ability level, and interest in the information being conveyed. Satisfying Document Specifications (Genre/Type of Document) Document specifications include… • Adherence to document type (genre)--understanding what is expected in an email vs. a memo, knowing the difference between a proposal and a recommendation report, and understanding how to write up the results of an experiment vs. the conclusions; • Format--many document types specify a specific format be followed, for example, various professional journals and government documents require...

...format. 2. Write simple, short sentences that you can manage to write without grammatical errors. As a thumb rule, if your sentence runs into the third line in MS Word, it is long and perhaps confounding. 3. Do run proper spell check before submitting any document to anyone. It is unprofessional and rather rude to submit documents with spellings mistakes. The reader will immediately lose confidence in your professional capabilities. 4. Maintain proper formatting requirements for any professional document. Typically a standard font such as Times New Roman or Arial with size 12, proper line and paragraph spacing to facilitate readability, and justified alignment (unless submitting to US people who prefer left justified) is needed. All tables, figures, lists and any other such things must have captions with proper number and title (e.g. Table 1: Names of the Companies Involved in 2G Scam). Tables shouldn’t have any vertical lines as per the APA standards. Different levels of headings in a text should follow different and consistent patterns. You may take a look at any standard journal article to better understand this point. Whenever you feel impressed by the format of a document, mark the formatting patterns. You will learn formatting quickly in this manner. 5. A reference without citation is meaningless. Unless you clearly indicate which line or idea is borrowed, you are still plagiarizing. For example, people have the potential to perform...

...records encompass a wide range of data relating to individuals working in an organisation, which may be stored in a variety of media, such as computer database or paper files. There and advantages and disadvantages to both media: 1.1 Paper records/ Paper Files: A risk analysis needs to focus on the secure storage and the prevention of threats such as fire or theft and relevant personnel can only access those files. There are legal requirements that employees are required to meet in terms of the length of time that specific documents are to be retained, so thought needs to be given to storage space and all files must be easily retrieved and accessed when required. The business must implement and maintain a good document discipline, i.e. no paper should be left laying around for unauthorised access, and a clean desk at night policy must be mandatory. However, there are some benefits to collecting and retaining paper files. Paper files are not susceptible to computer viruses, they are user friendly, and there are benefits to their portability. Paper Files supporting HR: This system of saving files proves particularly helpful while signing important job contacts, Signing of important legal documents that show...

...Part of your job as a staff associate in an auditing firm is to document your findings in working papers (also known as workpapers) and schedules. Workpapers summarize your audit actions, such as planning the audit. Schedules show what steps you take to reach a conclusion. For example, to support your conclusion that cash is correctly stated on the balance sheet, you may prepare a schedule showing all bank reconciliations affirming that they reconcile without discrepancy to the balance sheet. Your CPA firm specifies how you prepare all your audit documents. However, keep in mind that every workpaper stands on its own. This means that its purpose, source of information, and conclusions must be clearly evident. To prepare workpapers, you want to use the following elements: A descriptive heading: It should include the client’s name, the workpaper’s purpose, and the date under examination. Indexing: Like a book, every workpaper has a unique page number showing its place in the audit file. Cross-referencing: To improve your efficiency, you want to cross-reference your workpaper to related and supporting workpapers. Doing so eliminates the duplication of work. For example, if you file the client’s bank reconciliations in Section A and you refer to them in Section F, you don’t need to make copies of the bank reconciliations to place in Section F. Your cross-reference could be “See bank reconciliations in Section A.” Tick marks: For the sake of brevity...
