Such as CG (corporate government), NEDs( none executive directors) , AGM, EPS, IR (integrated report), CSR, etc. Would you have some suggestions for us? Thank you very much.
You can… But you should atleast put in brackets what the abbreviation stands for when you now mention it in your answer and then later on as you progress in your answer you can use the abbreviation. You should post up in the Ask Tutor forum to be safe but that’s what I know.
i would avoid it.. look at the model answers, they don’t have bullet points, nor abbreviations
“i would avoid it.. look at the model answers, they don’t have bullet points, nor abbreviations”
They also don’t have time pressure and nor is there any restriction on discussing the questions with colleagues nor on access to reference material
Of course you should use abbreviations!
However, think of the context
Where you are writing a report, press release, response to an email (or similar situation) you need to remember that not everyone has had the benefit of an accountancy education
So when referring to, say, IFRS you should write something like …
“Within the International Financial Reporting Standard on the recognition of revenue from contracts (IFRS 15) there is the requirement that ….”
And then, from that point on, if you need to refer to standards again you are at liberty to use the abbreviation
Is that any better for you?
