Why Report Writing and Documentation Matter

Effective report writing is more than just a procedural task, it’s a vital tool for achieving compliance and defending enforcement actions. A well-written report can clearly outline violations, document evidence, and provide a roadmap for corrective actions. Should a case be questioned or escalated, strong documentation serves as a cornerstone for defending the integrity and accuracy of the enforcement process.
