Is it incorrect to say "finalized version of sth" ?
Hi friends,

Is it incorrect to say "finalized version of sth" ? I am taking about an output of a discussion that you have to finalize sth.

E.g. can it be called as Finalized version of the report, Finalized version of the Training Policy etc. ?

Thanks in advance,

I think as long as it has been agreed as the complete and final copy by you or your staff- it is  okay to say:

Finalized version of...
