ENGLISH GRAMMAR FOR FINANCIAL REPORT WRITING

Abstrak

Financial reporting is a critical communication tool for stakeholders, demanding accuracy, clarity, and conciseness. This paper explores the indispensable role of advanced English grammar in achieving these objectives. It identifies common grammatical pitfalls that can lead to ambiguity, misinterpretation, or even misrepresentation of financial data. Through an analysis of specific grammatical structures and their impact on financial narratives, this research proposes practical strategies for financial professionals to elevate their writing. The study focuses on the application of precise verb usage, sophisticated sentence construction, effective use of modifiers, and the avoidance of common errors such as misplaced modifiers and subject-verb agreement issues in complex financial contexts. The findings underscore that a strong command of English grammar is not merely an aesthetic concern but a fundamental requirement for credible and effective financial communication, ultimately contributing to better decision-making by investors, regulators, and management
