ABSTRACT

Another way of looking at it is: ‘what is the user of the report trying to achieve in reading this report?’ We should take their needs and objectives into account.

Lorna Johnson is the sales manager of two divisions of High Wire Productions. It is 5 August and her boss has asked her to explain, at a meeting on 7 August, the sales figures for the first half year to 30 June. She asked her assistant, Miles Collins, to produce a report for her meeting with the boss by 1 August.
