Report Editing
Editing lengthy multi-author reports into a single, consistent narrative takes focus and linguistic expertise.
Unlike shorter documents, long or multi-volume reports present the report editor with unique challenges: linguistic norms, spelling conventions, brand naming may vary in their application by different authors. Few functional role players within any organisation tend to have the undivided focus, time and skill required to achieve this level of clarity and linguistic consistency.
Thorough editing is a skill that takes years to perfect. The report editors challenge is to weave an account consistent in tone, style, readability level and naming conventions. Jargon must be unpacked and complex sentence structures simplified. Fatigued rhetoric must be avoided – as should clichés – and contentious, insensitive or otherwise inappropriate statements revised or expunged.
Years of inducted reporting experience enable Acumen’s report editors to extract and collate the requisite information from across your organisation. Once garnered, we set about creating a holistic account that is simultaneously accurate, balanced and edited to perfection.
Final quality assurance is conducted in close consultation with key role players, with ‘red flags’ raised to address any contentious or accuracy related issues.
