A report examines a topic that is structured and in an easy-to-follow format. A report is not an essay, which sets out to support a writer’s view about a topic and does not have to feature headings.
Reports structure their contents into sections with headings and subheadings as follows:
- Title
- Summary
- Introduction
- Body
- Discussion
- Conclusion
- Recommendations
- Appendices
Letter of Transmittal:
The letter of transmittal begins the purpose and content of the report.

The only difficulty in designing the title page is to think of a good title.
Abstract:
An abstract is a brief technical summary – usually no more than 200 words – of the report.

There are eight types of report. Although experts are still undecided on a global classification standard, these report categories are the most frequently used. They are:
- Formal or Informal Reports
- Short or Long Reports
- Informational or Analytical Reports
- Proposal Report
- Vertical or Lateral Reports
- Internal or External Reports
- Periodic Reports
- Functional Reports.
Through research and analysis of data, reports communicate information.
A written report is a means to assess the real value of research. Other relevant criteria include the report’s clarity, organization and content.
One reason why reports are a common form of writing in the industry is their inclusion of recommendations, as they are useful for decision making.
Here are a few reasons why a report is important:
- Tracks Development Over Time
Business reports documents progress and provide a means of comparing periods, project details, and growth history.
- Provides an Audit Trail
Reports build a paper trail of the past and assists decision-making for a company and its future.
- Duty to Stakeholders
Most big companies must produce an annual report each year for their shareholders and government agencies.
- Supports Purchasing Decisions
To expand or make a substantial purchase to increase business, a report about the financial history of the company is necessary.
You might have to write an academic report at university or a business report as part of your job.
Other reasons to prepare a report are to present information; to present research results; or to analyse a dilemma and then prescribe a particular action or strategy.
A report can be extended or compact, formal or informal. The style and vocabulary election will depend on who is going to read your report and the audience’s level of understanding or expertise.
Reports compile the result of research and analysis of data and issues into useful information.
Reports can survey a broad range of topics but usually focus on transmitting information with a clear purpose, to a specific audience.
As a written report is the tangible product of many hours of work, it is the mode of assessing the real value of research.
Rightly or wrongly, the quality and worth of that work are judged by the quality of the written report – its clarity, organization and content.
A report is a particular form of writing tailored to concisely identify and examining issues or findings that have occurred in a physical sense, such as findings from a research investigation.
They can also pertain to events or issues identified within a body of literature. A report informs the reader only and objectively about all relevant issues. Three features characterise report writing at a fundamental level: a pre-defined order, independent sections, and unbiased determinations.
The primary purpose of a business report is to present data that is relevant to the company, such as the efficiency of work processes, competition, or procedures, readily available to the company’s stakeholders. The report needs to make this data accessible for the reader to follow.
A database report is the formatted result of database queries and contains valuable data for decision-making and analysis.
Most business applications include a built-in reporting tool; this is simply an interface that calls or runs formatted database queries for easy application usage. For example, a banking software application may contain reports on all customers with large deposits.
A Report in business communication is a document designed to note and carry information to the reader. Reports are inevitable in any business or organization; they serve to record specific information for audiences, goals, or functions. They are often distinguished by their purpose or function.
Begin with a cover page beginning with the name, the date and a short title that sums up the report’s contents.
Eliminate unnecessary features in a regular report, such as a table of contents and appendices full of graphs and charts. Include a small graphic or two to support the narrative of the report.
This opening section of the simple report should be less than a page long. Readers may be too busy to devote complete attention to the report due to their other commitments.
This section should be a brief explanation of the report’s opinion and a summary of the essential parts of the rest of the report.
There are seven essential stages of writing a report:
Stage One: Constructing the report brief.
Stage Two: Collecting and picking information.
Stage Three: Categorising the information.
Stage Four: Analysing the information.
Stage Five: Writing the report.
Stage Six: Evaluating and redrafting.
Stage Seven: Presentation.
There are four types of conclusion available for use:
Predict: If the report is about an action already taken, use the ending to propose the desired outcome.
Quote: If done with care and sensitivity, ending with a quotation can be powerful.
Repeat: Repeat a significant issue and do it with tactfulness without being rough. Keep it brief, to-the-point and memorable.
Summarise: Be concise, memorable and compelling.
A conclusion sums up the entire report. It draws judgments from what has been found and the impact of those findings or decisions. It reinforces the main messages of the document, provides a final word to the readers, and demonstrates good organization.
