ABSTRACT

When you write a report you are seeking to achieve certain personal aims, and also the aims of the report itself. But what you are primarily trying to do is to communicate.

We have already seen how planning, structure, logic, language and presentation all contribute to effective communication, but we have passed over the meat of the matter as it were:

the research that needs to be done to obtain facts the analysis of the facts that needs to be done to generate information,

conclusions and recommendations the presentation of the information.
