EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
(DO NOT PUT A HEADING NUMBER ON THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
HEADING)

The Executive Summary (ES) is a snapshot of the entire report including specific
recommendations (which you can state in full). A busy Executive should be able to read your
ES and glean key information without having to read the full detail of the report.

The Executive Summary is NOT an INTRODUCTION to the report. It comes before the
Introduction.

This is on a single page. Should be no more than 1 x A4 page in single spacing. I suggest
you do fill the page.

This page is not to be page numbered, and not counted in the overall report page numbering,
and must not be listed in the Table of Contents.

WRITE THIS AFTER YOU FINISH THE REPORT

The introduction would commence on a new page and this would be page number 1

Body text should be 11pt either Arial or Calibri

The recommendations should be inserted in full from the report proper .

The ES is not included in the word count.

Table of Contents
You can generate the Table of Contents automatically in word if you are sufficiently
skilled.

Alternately, you can create manually. It must reflect the headings/sub-headings of

your report. Only the page number where a heading commences is to be included as
per above. Your page numbering will reflect in your report.

1.0 INTRODUCTION (14pt) 1

This should include purpose, scope and context and position the reader for
what is to come and ensure the reader is clear on the ‘roadmap’ of your
report. Use the task to assist with constructing this.

2.0 INSERT YOUR TOPIC HEADING HERE 1

3.0 Include the other numbered headings and sub-headings

as per your report content to reflect your response to the
task.

3.1 A subheading would look like this (12 pt)

?.0 Conclusion

?.0 Recommendations

?.0 References

Delete this page from your report if you are going to use the

1.0 Introduction (no more than 170 words – approx. 10%)

(Use 14pt font for major headings and bold no underlining)

1.1 Purpose

This should include purpose, scope and context and position the reader for
what is to come and ensure the reader is clear on the ‘roadmap’ of your
report.

1.2 Background

This is where I recommend that you provide your brief summary of the news story
and be sure to reference it appropriately.

FYI how to use the words

1700 – (170 + 170) = 1360 so suggest approx. 5 paragraphs of approx. equal length
for the body. You can write more than one paragraph under each heading. Avoid
overly lengthy paragraphs.

2.0 Insert your topic heading here

(This is something you make up to reflect the content you choose to discuss
here in response to the task. Headings are signposts for the reader so ensure
they are to the point and direct the reader.)

2.1 Include sub-headings if relevant to your discussion (12pt and

bold) With 1700 words keep to a min.

Body text in here should be 11pt

Your discussion throughout must be referenced.

2.2 Another sub-heading if you require

Include main topic headings based on the content approach of your Report.
The number of main topic headings depends on you and how you are
presenting your discussion in response to the task.

3.0 Second Topic Heading

Body text in here should be 11pt

 Student Name: [Type your student name]
Student No: [Type your student number here]

?.0 Next Topic Heading

Use as many topic main headings (and sub-headings) as required to best present
your topic discussion
Body text in here should be 11pt

?.0 Next Topic Heading (if required)

Body text in here should be 11pt

?.0 Conclusion (approx. 10% of total word count so 170 words)

This draws together your discussion. The conclusion does not include any new
content material and would not usually contain references.

?.0 Recommendations

(keep this to the point). Use the 10%+ of the word count for your
recommendations so approx. 170 words.

These are specific strategies for future action; exactly what it is that you are advising.
Suggest you approach as follows –

The recommendations are as follows:

(each specific recommendation can be listed as a dot point; there should not be any
justification discussion here / you already would have done that up in the body of the
report to reach this point)

• Adopt …. (these are written as action statements)

• Implement…

Suggest at least 4 key recommendations; do not limit yourself to 4 if your approach

indicates more. This will depend on your focus in relation to task and your research.
Ensure you put yourself in the context of the professional setting and what would be
appropriate.

References

Ensure you refer to the CQU APA Referencing Guide latest edition. If you
think about it, this is a way to ensure you can ‘boost’ your marks
somewhat.

Refer to the APA referencing protocol and include here only those sources you have
cited in-text above. Access via the Academic Learning Centre link on the Moodle site.

Please pay attention to the finer detail of the referencing protocol across all the
different types of sources. Students lose marks unnecessarily by not referring to this
guide.

You must have the text (draw on material from min 2 chapters) and a minimum
of 6 peer reviewed academic journal articles and used appropriately to achieve
even a pass. Must be relevant and from 2012 onwards unless a defining moment or
have special significance in the discipline. Stay within this timeframe to be on the safe
side.

You need to research to obtain relevant, accurate and quality references. It is then up
to you as to how you use these to best formulate and present your discussion.

You must use the textbook and include as a reference and SIX (6) relevant
academic peer reviewed journals.

APPENDIX

The appendix is for support material and may contain examples, diagrams, tables and
similar. This is where you include extra detail for information that is not essential to the report
proper.

It is up to you whether you use an APPENDIX or not. It is not included in the word count.

Consider how you would organise.

You may or may not have an Appendix and you may have more than one. If you have more
than one Appendix then number them as

APPENDIX A, APPENDIX B and similar. If you follow this approach each new Appendix is
on a new page.
