A company secretary wants to send a detailed quarterly compliance report that the recipient can store, refer to later and use as formal evidence. Which mode of communication is most suitable?

A written report sent by email or letter is most suitable because written communication gives a permanent, verifiable record. The recipient can store it, refer back to it and use it as formal evidence, which oral or non-verbal modes cannot reliably provide.

  1. AA casual verbal chat in the corridor
  2. BA written report sent by email or letterCorrect
  3. CA hand gesture during a meeting
  4. DA telephone call without any notes

Explanation

Written communication creates a permanent record that can be referred to and used as evidence. Verbal chats and phone calls without notes leave no record, and gestures cannot carry detailed data.
