    May 2010

    Writing a report

    Reports are written after somebody or someone has been asked to


    carry out an investigation of a topic and must then give detailed
    advice and recommendations.
    Businesses use them in many different ways.

    Eg to decide on new products or changes to company policy.

    Written Reports should follow a set format

    The main sections of a report are shown below:

    (ALWAYS LEFT ALIGNED)

    1. Title – the title of the report, fairly obviously. Also who its
    written by and their position in the company.

    2. Terms of reference – a statement of what the report covers


    and who asked for it to be written.

    3. Procedure - sometimes called methodology. This is an


    explanation of how the research was carried out and how
    the data collected was analysed.

    4. Findings – A description of what the research discovered,


    which includes charts, diagrams or summaries of
    interviews.

    5. Conclusions - An explanation of what the research findings


    tell us about the topic being investigated.

    6. Recommendations – A summary of what action should be


    taken as a result of the findings.
