How It Helps Your Business English
The page explains what a report is, lists its purposes and five common types, then gives a five-step method for writing one. A report writing format section describes the title page, table of contents, introduction, main body, conclusion, recommendations, references and appendices. A worked example of a quarterly business report follows, with a short set of questions on report format.
You can read the structure section first to see what each part of a report is for, then use it as a checklist while you draft your own. The worked example shows how an executive summary, discussion and recommendations read when they are written out in full, so you can compare your wording with it. The language section gives you the formal choices expected in a report, and the closing questions let you check what you have taken in.
