Meaning, Similarities and Differences of Requests and Reports
Regarding the meanings of "asking for instructions" and "reporting", China's "Measures for Handling Official Documents of State Administrative Organs" and "Regulations on Handling Official Documents of Party Organs" clearly stipulate that: asking for instructions is applicable to asking for instructions and approval from higher authorities; The report is suitable for reporting the work to the higher authorities, reflecting the situation, putting forward opinions or suggestions, and answering the inquiries of the higher authorities. The two cannot be confused.
Instructions and reports belong to the above article, which have the functions of reflecting the situation and making suggestions, but there are also obvious differences:
1. The content requirements are different. The requested content needs an article; The content of the report can be one article or several articles.
2. The emphasis is different. Asking for instructions belongs to asking for instructions, focusing on raising topics and requesting instructions and approval; A report is a declarative document, focusing on reporting work and stating opinions or suggestions.
3. The purpose of writing is different. The purpose of asking for instructions is to ask superiors to approve a job or solve a problem; The purpose of the report is to let the superior know the situation, grasp the situation and facilitate timely guidance.
4. The writing time is different. Instructions must be written in advance; Reports can be written afterwards or during the development of things.
5. Different submission requirements. Generally, only one main sending organ is written for instructions; Under the dual leadership of the unit to the higher authorities for instructions, should indicate the main reporting organ and report to the office according to the instructions, the main reporting organ is responsible for answering instructions; The report can be submitted to one or more higher authorities.
6. Different lengths. Asking for instructions is generally short; The report covers a wide range and is generally long.
7. The title is written differently. Generally speaking, the word "report" is not written in the title of the request, that is, XX's request for XX; If the word "request for instructions" is not written in the title of the report, it is a report of X X about X X.
8. The ending clause is different. The end of the request is generally in the form of "no, please give instructions" or "please ask for instructions, please approve", and the end of the request must clearly indicate the urgent requirements that need a reply from the superior; At the end of the report, the form of "hereby report" is often used, and generally no words that need a reply from the superior are written.
9. The processing results are different. Asking for instructions belongs to "doing things", which means that the higher authorities should reply to the official documents asking for instructions in time; The report belongs to "reading approval", and the higher authorities of the report documents generally reply in the form of approval, but it is not necessary to reply one by one.
Several manifestations of the difference between asking for instructions and reporting
1. Treat the request as a report. That is, asking for instructions and approval are regarded as reports. For example, the "XX Report on Application for Purchase of XX" refers to the things that can only be implemented after the authorities put forward the requirements for purchase of XX according to the needs of their work and report to the higher authorities for approval. This kind of writing should belong to asking for instructions, and sometimes writing exercises are written in this way.
2. treat the report as a request. Some reports are submitted by subordinates to superiors for forwarding. Such a report should be a transitive report and can easily be regarded as a request for instructions. If at the end of the "Report of x x, x x, XX, XX", it should be written "The above report, if there is nothing wrong, please forward it to XX for implementation." It is a typical report, but it is often regarded as asking for instructions.
3. Asking for instructions and reporting are mixed. Some official documents have both instructions and reports, or both reports and instructions. These forms do not conform to the norms of language use. For example, the Report on Asking for Instructions from XXX,
In this form of official document, there are both reports and requests for instructions or several requests for instructions. This mixed form can easily make the higher authorities lose their heads, and dealing with one thing delays other things.
Causes and negative effects of the separation of asking for instructions from reporting
There are many reasons for the difference between asking for instructions and reporting. The most direct and main reasons are as follows: First, there is a deviation in understanding. Some comrades do not correctly understand the true meaning of asking for instructions and reporting, and often can't tell the difference between asking for instructions and reporting. So when they started writing, they couldn't tell whether to ask for instructions or report. Second, we did not pay enough attention to the drafters' thoughts and did not realize the importance of separating instructions from reports. He believes that it is better to ask for instructions to report the situation than to report the problem. Third, the leaders pay insufficient attention to it, and their sense of responsibility is not strong, and the checks are not strict.
No matter asking for instructions or reporting, it often brings inconvenience to the normal official document processing of higher authorities, and it is also easy to cause the wrong approval or omission of official documents by higher authorities, and even sometimes delays the handling of things, seriously affecting the quality of official documents. Accurately submitting requests for instructions and reports can make superiors understand the situation, facilitate timely guidance and enhance communication between superiors and subordinates. We should make great efforts to correct the bad habit of ignoring instructions and reports, let leaders take the lead, purposefully and systematically strengthen the study and training of their own units and departments, popularize standardized document writing knowledge, improve the comprehensive quality of document writers, and avoid ignoring instructions and reports to the maximum extent.
