Information Report

Donald M. Patimo, MPM

 Definition
 According to Arroyo, an informational report is
one that contains and presents facts. In this kind
of report, the writer does not include his
opinions or his interpretation of the facts and
neither does he offer solutions or
recommendations. The informational report is
useful for its facts alone which can be the basis
for other reports or for decisions by
management. An example of this type of report
is a salesman’s weekly sales report.

reports are factual reports that do not
include the writer’s opinions. An example

attendance.
 According to Lesikar, information reports
do nothing more than to present facts.
