Some enterprises believe that the application for specialization, refinement and innovation is a standardized process, as long as in accordance with the national and local regulations and requirements, fill in the declaration form, provide supporting materials, you can pass the declaration, not according to their own characteristics and highlights, highlight their own personalization and differentiation, and do not adjust their own declaration plan and supporting materials according to the characteristics and preferences of audit institutions and experts, resulting in the content of the declaration is bland. It is the same, does not attract the attention and interest of audit institutions and experts, and does not reflect its own specialization, refinement, special and new value and significance.
Solution: Enterprises should highlight their own personalization and differentiation according to their own characteristics and highlights, show their own specialized, special and new achievements and contributions, adjust their own declaration plans and supporting materials according to the characteristics and preferences of audit institutions and experts, increase the richness and attractiveness of their own declaration content, reflect their own specialized, special and new value and significance, and win the recognition and support of audit institutions and experts.
