Annual report proofreading

Public facing documents, such as your annual reporting suite, sustainability report and reconciliation action plan, need careful, thorough proofreading by professional proofreaders to ensure that they are not only free of typos and grammatical mistakes, but that they are consistent in tone, style, punctuation, terms and tenses throughout.

After all, your public facing documents are going to be closely examined by stakeholders, such as your staff, investors, the media, public and the board. You undoubtedly want to be confident that they are free of errors. After all, your company’s reputation could be at stake.

Our skilled, experienced proofreaders will give your annual report or other stakeholder documents an exacting, precise proofread that meets the highest standards.

What we find – averaging 10 mark-ups a page

When you’ve been so closely involved in the writing and design of an annual report, it’s hard to see the errors. It’s easy for mistakes to slip through. And these can potentially be costly mistakes that might otherwise go unnoticed. 

We should know. Clients are amazed at the number of mark-ups our proofreaders return with their documents. In an annual report, we typically make 10 mark-ups a page. In a 100-page report, that’s 1,000 mark-ups.

Although internal reviews and spell-checking programs can tackle the obvious issues, they don’t catch everything. Our clients seek our help because they believe in the value and appreciate the comfort they gain from our proofreading.

After all the time and energy that goes into producing an annual report, professional proofreading is worth its weight in gold.

What do our annual report proofreaders look for?

Our experienced proofreaders for annual reports are adept at handling lengthy, complex content. As professional proofreaders with 20 plus years’ experience as annual report proofreaders, we know the typical mistakes and oversights in stakeholder documents. 

We know what to look for. We pay attention to even the smallest of details.

We check every word, punctuation mark and sentence for accuracy and legibility. We mark up missing words, inconsistencies of headings and titles, typos, grammatical errors, and we’ll query content that doesn’t seem to make sense. We’ll make sure that the table of contents matches the content, that the bullet points are consistent and that captions are correct.

It might sound straightforward, but it takes enormous attention to detail and concentration to ensure that proofreading an annual report or stakeholder document is done correctly.  

We strive for perfection: a successful proofread is one in which the document is supremely professional, clean and polished.

You’ll be in safe hands with our annual report proofreaders

Qantas, Lendlease, Stockland, Mirvac, ALDI, Brambles, Credit Corp, Blackmores, plus government agencies and departments such as the ACCC, NSW Department of Communities and Justice – these are just a few of the leading organisations across Australia that trust our proofreaders’ eye for detail.

We’re the annual report proofreaders you can rely on for a professional, thorough, prompt proofread every time.
