Section 2: Key elements of a report

Section overview

This section focuses on the skills required for writing specific parts of reports.

  • introductions
  • conclusions
  • recommendations
  • summaries (including executive summaries)
  • using citations and references

Please note, the examples given are from reports that may be more or less sophisticated than those you are called upon to write. They have been chosen because they clearly show the use of the skills required in producing specific parts of reports. These skills apply to all report writing regardless of their complexity; however, not all reports you will write will necessarily have all these parts.
