Repetition of conjunction and prepositions

1. He said he would apprise about the revised schedule after having had discussions with company boss and after revisiting the audit plan in hand for the current year.

2. He said he would apprise about the revised schedule after revisiting the audit plan for the current year and discussions with the company head.

Could you please explain whether preposition after is required in the second clause of the sentence.

  

Top answer

In the first sentence you have a (fairly) parallel structure, "... having had discussions ... ", and the second "after" seems unnecessary.

  • having had discussions ...
  • ", and the second "after" seems unnecessary.
  • Consider whether "having" is better than "having had".

I would be inclined to try to make the second sentence parallel too, e.g. "... revisiting ... discussing ...", and again omit the second "after".

"apprise about" is not right.
