If the organisation’s name is commonly abbreviated or uses an acronym, you can use this in-text but it needs to be introduced correctly.

Use the organisation's full name the first time you refer to a report by that organisation, together with the abbreviation/acronym in square brackets.  In subsequent references to the same report, as well as other reports by the same organisation, only the abbreviated form should be used.
