Your company invests in compliance. Has it invested in proofreading its documents?

Investing in compliance also means investing in the quality of the documents that support the program.

Prevention requires planning, technical knowledge and well-defined processes. When a policy or guideline reaches the internal audience with errors, contradictions or vague passages, part of that investment loses its effectiveness.

Being too close to a text makes it harder to notice its problems. Those who took part in drafting it know the context and tend to mentally fill in information that is not explicit to the reader.

A specialized and independent perspective

The proofreader reads what is actually written. They flag unclear points, check the consistency of terms and improve flow without taking over decisions that belong to the technical and legal departments.

Before publishing your documents, include proofreading in the process.
