A short formal investigation report should be concise but comprehensive,
including the essential components to ensure clarity and completeness. Here’s
what typically goes into such a report:

1. Title Page: Includes the title of the report, the name of the investigator, the
date, and any other relevant details.

2. Executive Summary: A brief overview of the investigation's main points,


findings, and conclusions. This section helps readers quickly grasp the essence
of the report.

3. Introduction: Provides background information, the purpose of the


investigation, and its scope. This sets the context for the reader.
4. Methodology: Describes the methods and procedures used to conduct the
investigation. This ensures transparency and allows others to understand the
approach taken.

5. Findings: Presents the facts and evidence gathered during the investigation.
This section should be objective and factual.

6. Analysis/Discussion: Interprets the findings, explaining their significance and


implications. This section connects the evidence to the investigation's
objectives and provides insights.

7. Conclusions: Summarizes the main findings and their importance. It often


restates the investigation's key points and draws overall conclusions.

8. Recommendations: Offers specific, actionable suggestions based on the


findings and analysis. These recommendations are intended to address the
issues identified in the investigation.

9. Appendices: Includes any additional material that supports the report but is
too detailed to include in the main body, such as raw data, detailed
calculations, or supplementary information.

By following this structure, you can create a well-organized and effective formal
investigation report that communicates its findings and conclusions.
