ABSTRACT
The purposes of reports vary, but historically mankind has relied on reports to make decisions, to progress, to accomplish goals. If you think about it, people look at the weather report to see what kind of day tomorrow will be. They read news reports to see what’s going on in the world. They follow financial reports to determine the best places to put their money. Reports serve the same function in business. Reports tell readers what’s going on so they can make knowledgeable decisions.
