Formal Report Writing


All formal report writing should be written with the guidelines that are given to you.  Most classes, and companies will have rules that need to be followed.  However I have summarized seven points from the website found below.  These points should be considered on top of the rules you have be given.  These summarized points are helpful when writing any formal report.

1.           Abstract/Summary – mini version of the report
2.      Outline – Organize your report before you begin writing it
3.      Introduction – will help the reader understand the rest of the report
4.      Discussion – body of the report, will give the reader the full picture as well as make sure it is understood
5.      Conclusion – summary of the findings
6.      Recommendations – what you think should happen with the results
7.      Appendix – Resources

When writing any report, make sure you know the audience.  Be concise and stay on topic.  Make sure that the information you need to convey is going to be understood, by the audience as well as stakeholders.
