Definition and meaning

Formal communication follows established channels, structures, and protocols within an organization or institution. It includes official announcements, board reports, written policies, structured presentations, and any message delivered through authorized pathways.

It ensures accountability and consistency, particularly in regulatory, legal, or governance contexts where clear records are essential.
