Plain Writing Act compliance report 2017
The
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s sixth
annual Plain Writing Act Compliance Report is presented to fulfill the Bureau’s
statutory responsibilities pursuant to the Plain Writing Act of 2010. Our commitment to the goals of the Plain Writing
Act is central to the Bureau’s mission to make consumer financial markets work
for consumers. Fundamental to our mission is supporting and empowering consumers with the
information, tools, and skills they need to make financial decisions to meet
their own life goals. The
CFPB has adopted plain language as a core principle for all consumer-facing
content. We apply plain language principles in our consumer print and online
materials—including brochures, web content, blog posts, and social media.
