(c)Design Guidelines.

(1)The design of a “Citizen-Centric Report” is just as important as the content. A report will only be effective if it is read and referenced; thus, it should be visually appealing. The AGA, the birthplace of the “Citizen-Centric Report” initiative, has created guidelines for the design of “Citizen-Centric Reports,” to include suggestions for design considerations of visual appeal and readability, physical layout, colors, images and graphics, and type and fonts. The AGA also provides suggestions for publishing software and report distribution. CH. 19 OFFICE OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY
