    This document compares and contrasts an informative abstract versus an executive summary. An informative abstract discusses the purpose, methodology, main results, and conclusion of a report in 10% of the report's length, following the organization of the original report and using its phrasing. In contrast, an executive summary is a concise paraphrase of the main points of a report, potentially longer in length, not following the report's organization, highlighting key points that could include financial implications to help decision makers.
