Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Miscalculations can directly affect the accuracy of the memo, so eliminating them would be the most effective way to improve accuracy. While eliminating redundancies and avoiding passive voice may also help improve clarity and precision, they may not necessarily address issues of factual accuracy. Eliminating prepositional phrases and using parallel language can help improve clarity and flow, but they are not as directly related to accuracy as miscalculations.
