Use George Orwell’s six rules to improve your financial writing
George Orwell wrote an essay (Politics and the English Language) in 1946 where he explained his six rules for clear writing. I’m sure he did not have accountants I’m sure he did not have accountants and auditors in mind when he wrote his rules but they are as relevant to writing about money as any other subject. Never use a metaphor, simile or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
