ReplyDeleteDear Cool
ReplyDeleteIt is necessary to show details of every step after completion because if you have made any mistake it can be appropriated in time otherwise in the end if whole report have lots of mistakes then it would be quite unpleasing.
A policy is typically described as a deliberate plan of action to guide decisions and achieve rational outcomes. However, the term may also be used to denote what is actually done, even though it is unplanned.
Policy differs from rules or law. While law can compel or prohibit behaviors for example a law requiring the payment of taxes on income whereas; policy merely guides actions toward those that are most likely to achieve a desired outcome.
Policy recommendations may refer to the process of making important organizational decisions, including the identification of different alternatives such as programs or spending priorities, and choosing among them on the basis of the impact they will have. Policies can be further understood as political, management, financial, and administrative mechanisms arranged to reach explicit goals.
