This small volume provides the tools and techniques needed to improve reports. It does so through addressing crucial concepts all too often overlooked in the familiar rush to perform tasks, complete projects, and meet deadlines.
These concepts – the role of culture in communication; the link between logic and language; the importance of organizing thoughts before writing; and how to achieve clarity – may seem academic or theoretical. They’re not. Unless writers understand their own thoughts, actions, and objectives, they cannot hope to communicate them at all – let alone clearly.
This second edition develops these points with additional material on critical thinking, as well as the use of AI in reporting.

With over 30 years’ academic, teaching, writing, publishing, and corporate experience in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East, she brings a wealth of varied yet specialized expertise to clients and audiences. As a member of the Chartered Institute of Internal Auditors (UK and Ireland) Technical Guidance Working Group, Sara has produced many governance, risk, and internal audit advisory pieces. She has also produced articles on clear writing for industry journals and spoken at numerous audit conferences and heads of internal audit forums. In 2022, she was named one of Richard Chambers' Internal Audit Beacon award-winners. Finally, Sara has been fortunate to live, study, and work in different countries, including the US, the UK, France, and the then-Soviet Union, and speaks five languages.
