Questions 1

According to Mclean (2015), revising a document requires attention to content, organization, readability, and style. My report on the digital transformation of cost accounting can be improved by introducing case studies that delve into the real-world application of digital transformation to cost accounting processes. Highlighting the challenges and outcomes these organizations have encountered will facilitate the successful adoption of digital transformation in the future. Regarding the organization, the report aligns with the requirements; hence, there is no need to make any significant changes.

Thirdly, the report was written in a formal tone, which is the professional way to write a report. Reading it aloud gives a glimpse of the author and audience; hence, there is no need to revise it further. The final evaluation element of the report is readability. The report is written in concise and simple language. This aligns with the requirement that business reports should be written in simple language because it is likely to be read by a diverse audience (Mclean, 2015). Further, my report did not include graphs and tables because digital transformation is a fairly new concept with limited data availability.

Questions 2

I selected two resumes, one by Bob Slydell, a human resource associate, and another by Gordon Gekko, a financial analyst. The first item in a resume is one’s contact information, with the full legal name appearing first (Mclean, 2015). Other elements in the contact information segment include mobile phones, email, and home addresses. Both resumes align with this requirement.

Key words have been used in the two resumes. Keywords convey one’s responsibilities and accomplishments effectively (Mclean, 2015). Bob Slydell’s resume effectively utilized keywords demonstrating leadership, including assisted, organized, helped, and maintained. On the other hand, Gordon Gekko’s resume utilizes keywords that demonstrate leadership, problem-solving skills, and technical skills. These include managed, performing, tracked, trained, supervised, and create.

The two resumes also include important personal details, although there is a slight difference between them. One difference is that Gordon Gekko began by introducing a professional summary, while Bob Slydell did not include this aspect. However, on the application of headings and spacing, Bob Slydell did better because he used uniform fonts. On the other hand, Gordon Gekko’s resume demonstrates the inconsistent application of headings by using inconsistent font and ‘bold’.

The two resumes have well-drafted headings that are bolded based on their hierarchy. The usage of large and bold text for major headings and small text for subheadings creates visual clarity for readers. Both resumes utilize bullet points in listing experiences, which makes it easy for readers to navigate the documents. Regarding spacing, both Bob Slydell’s and Gordon Gekko’s documents are well-spaced, which reduces clutter while reading. Another key factor in resume writing is listing items logically, with the most recent events appearing first. Bob Slydell and Gordon Gekko fail to comply with this rule.
