Report Writing

What is a report? A report is a conclusive collection of facts presented to display their end result. Statistical analysis, data gathering, case studies, company information and research become the background information that is presented in reports.

Writing reports is not difficult as long as you stick to a format. Have your guidelines on hand to refer to, ensure your facts are correct, and then write up the figures/data in an efficient and easy to follow layout.

Facts and Figures

Whatever the reason for the report, its purpose is to display previously gathered information. Ensure this information is correct. Reports should be evidence of the research.

Personal opinion is completely out – report the facts only.

Displaying Information

Bullets and numbering lists display information in a concise and easy to follow format. Ensure conclusions and introductions are included.

Tables, graphs and illustrations are a vital key to relaying information. Facts and figures are quickly ordered into a visual comparison when implemented into a table or chart.

Citations and Referencing

While the previously mentioned guidelines should be followed, ensure your citations and referencing are correct and relevant.
