Learn how to visualize your own emails and documents from the perspective of your readers.
In this webinar, you will learn strategies for writing in a reader-friendly style. By applying these strategies, you will be able to avoid misunderstandings in your emails and documents – even when your subject matter is highly technical. Throughout the webinar, you will be reviewing examples of business writing that demonstrate the strategies in action.
The webinar is concrete, rather than theoretical. It is not a rehash of university.
At the end of the webinar, you will be able to visualize your own writing from the perspective of your clients and colleagues.
Upon course completion, you will be able to:
• Write unambiguously • Explain accounting concepts using simple language • Decide when to repeat a term and when to use a synonym • Determine when to use (and when not to use) the word “and” • Put yourself in the shoes of your readers
Please note:
This webinar is the same as Section 1 of the instructor's longer course, titled Business Writing for Accountants.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
