What is a report????
Reports are documents that are used for giving
and receiving factual information; they are usually
presented in writing.
Reports use features such as graphics, images, voice, or specialized
vocabulary in order to persuade that specific audience to undertake
an action.
It is purely based on observation and analysis. A report gives an
explanation of any circumstance.
A good report is always fact finding and not fault finding. It should
be prepared in an impartial manner. The writers of the report should
be impartial in their outlook and approach.
Some examples are: annual reports, auditor's report, census reports,
progress reports, investigation reports, budget reports, credit reports,
appraisal reports, inspection reports, military reports, etc.
How do we write a
report????
Main sections
Title Section - If the report is short, the front cover
can include any information that you feel is necessary
including the author(s) and the date prepared. In a
longer report, you may want to include a table of
contents and a definitions of terms.
Summary - There needs to be a summary of the major points,
conclusions, and recommendations. It needs to be short as it is a
general overview of the report. It would be best to write this last so you
will include everything.
