Organization
Organization by topic
Allowing the topic to determine the organizational structure allows the target audience to pinpoint what they need to address their compliance question or concern.
Organization by audience
Organizing and writing compliance materials from the viewpoint of the audience is another helpful layer in creating materials that are easy to use.
Search engine
When possible, adding a search engine to policies and procedures and other compliance materials may be another helpful addition to organization techniques.
Color
Color may be used to break up topics and indicate new ideas, which can guide readers and focus them on what is important to their compliance role or question. For more information on color, please see the Color section of this atlas.
Alphabetical order
Combining other organizational techniques listed in this section with the use of alphabetical order where appropriate may enhance the ease of use of compliance materials.
