Characteristics of an effective report

A Report

Procedure for Report Writing

The following is a suggestion as to how you should proceed in compiling and presenting a report. There are three stages: Planning Writing Formatting, revising and proof-reading

Stage One: Planning

1. Defining the purpose - read the brief carefully - make sure you know what's really being asked 2. Defining the audience - determine your audience's level of understanding - determine what your audience needs to know 3. Establishing parameters - determine the scope and level of detail required - determine the length of the report and what can be covered in that length (geographical coverage). 4. Gathering information - make sure the information you gather is relevant, contemporary and factually correct - make sure that you transcribe facts and figures correctly 5. Prepare thorough TIME TABLE
