Effective Writing Skills
For
Accountants and Auditors
This
course is designed to improve the basic communication and
writing techniques of accountants and auditors. Since
communication is integral to all organizations, they cannot
afford to ignore the importance of effective writing. Also,
good writing has the same qualities as good accounting and
auditing—it is clear, concise, logical and persuasive.
The
course covers the following topics:
-
Follow a step-by-step process when writing, to avoid
writer’s block and achieve a professional product
-
Organize the writing process logically, so as to
anticipate final product for grammar, punctuation and
style
-
Understand the principles of logical structure—deductive
writing versus inductive writing, with a view to writing
clearly organized sentences, paragraphs and findings
-
Review written documents to ensure they are in
accordance with agency standards
The
course is directed toward basic and intermediate staff
members who need to prepare meaningful and persuasive
written documents.
