Abstract
A co-author comments on their previously published article on the writing of audit reports in Hong Kong. A combination of linguistic and contextual approaches to genre analysis can yield more insightful findings than a single approach. An expert informant can provide a further level of triangulation in genre analysis. The production of audit reports is a collaborative operation. Hong Kong auditors in the study make great use of templates to write their texts. Individual writing is needed for high stakes part of the reports. Pedagogical implications of the study are highlighted.
