Judges’ comment<\/h4>\n

This document has some complex content, but overall you\u2019ve handled it with skill. Well done.<\/p>\n

The document has a good structure, and you\u2019ve made good use of headings. A table of contents would help your readers navigate more easily and get an overview of what\u2019s in this longish document.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve clearly kept your reader in mind while writing. And you\u2019ve taken care to use language that includes them and humanises your organisation (we, our, you).<\/p>\n

At times your writing is not as concise as it could be, but on the whole you\u2019ve tried hard to use clear language. We forgive you the use of some jargon as it\u2019s likely to be understood by an internal audience.<\/p>\n

Overall, a very good effort.<\/p>\n

Media statement<\/h4>\n

Inland Revenue is pleased to be a finalist in the Best Plain English Document \u2014 Public Sector \/ NGO category in this year’s WriteMark Plain English Awards.<\/p>\n

Inland Revenue\u2019s Our Organisation 2015\u20132017 is an easy-to-read look at how Inland Revenue works and the changes that will happen. It explains to staff the key things we\u2019re doing over the next 1 to 2 years and how each business area contributes.<\/p>\n

\u2018The world will change hugely in the next few years and Inland Revenue is changing with it,\u2019 said Karen Bishop, Inland Revenue\u2019s Director of Corporate Planning and Reporting.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018We wanted to create a document that is engaging for our people, helps them to easily understand what\u2019s ahead for us and how we all contribute to IR\u2019s success.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Inland Revenue works hard to use plain English and keep our language as simple as possible,\u2019 she said.
\nInland Revenue would like to thank the WriteMark Plain English Awards for recognising us.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
