WHAT
IS A REPORT?
Reports
are
a type of document containing information organized in a narrative, graphic, or
tabular form, prepared on ad-hoc, periodic, recurring, regular, or as required
basis. Reports may refer to specific periods, events, occurrences, or subjects,
and may be communicated or presented in oral or written form. Besides, report
is to provide information.
Reports are usually commissioned or requested by
a person or an organization in order to get information about something.
The writer of the report is asked to take charge of
collecting, analyzing and interpreting information, and 'reporting back' their
findings to the person or organization who requested the information.
Reports often have 3 main aims:
v To give a straightforward, clearly structured
account of an issue
v To answer a question
v To offer solutions to a problem or
recommendations for action
There are many major
differences between reports and essays. It is exemplified and compared
against each other in the picture attached below.
There are two main types of reports that we are to discuss about:
Informational Report
- A report prepared from the information gathered through an investigation.
Analytical Report
-A report prepared after analyzing the investigated information.
Further differences between these two types of reports are as shown in the picture attached below.
