We propose a smooth correction for skewness in an asymptotically normal statistic. Unlike the case of approximation by Edgeworth expansion, our correction applies uniformly in all values of the level. The correction is based on a ' comparison statistic', and, in the case of the Studentized mean, it enables removal of all effects of skewness up to terms of order .
