what are the qualities of a good report

A report should have the following features in it:

Precision: A good report is very clear about the exact purpose of report i.e. investigation, analysis
and

recommendation.

Accuracy of Facts: Accuracy of facts is very essential to a good report since reports invariably lead to
decision making.

Relevance: Irrelevant facts make a report confirming: exclusion of relevant facts renders it
incomplete and likely to mislead.

Reader and Result Orientation:

A good report is always leader and result oriented. While drafting a good report, it is necessary to
keep in mind the person who is going to read it and that it leads to home result or
recommendations.

Objectivity of Recommendations: If recommendations are made at the end of the report, they must
be objective. They should come as a logical conclusion to investigation and analysis.

Simple and Unambiguous language: A good report must be written in simple and unambiguous
language, free from ornamentation.

Clarity and Brevity: A good report is absolutely clear and brief. Clarity depends on proper
arrangement of facts. Writer should make his purpose clear, define his/her resources, state his/her
findings and finally make necessary recommendations
. Brevity in a report is to include everything significant and yet be brief.
