TIGTA’s Writing and Style Guide
110.1 Purpose.

110.2 Applicability.
The Guide is applicable to all TIGTA functions, nationwide.
110.3 Background.
The Guide was created over the course of one year through a collaborative process with representatives from all functions within TIGTA. The Guide is primarily based on sources, such as the Associated Press Stylebook and the Government Printing Office Style Manual, and it sets forth the specific writing conventions preferred by the Office of the Inspector General.
110.4 Updates to the Guide.
The Guide will be updated by the Office of Communications on an annual basis. This update will generally occur in the calendar month of January.
