   In business, the information provided in reports needs to be easy to find, and written in such a way that the client can understand it. This is one reason why reports are divided into sections clearly labelled with headings and sub-headings. Technical information which would clutter the body of the report is placed in the appendix.
   
   The structure of a report and the purpose and contents of each section is shown below.
   
   TITLE PAGE  
   
   report title
   your name
   submission date
   
   EXECUTIVE SUMMARY  
   overview of subject matter
   methods of analysis
   findings
   recommendations
   
   TABLE OF CONTENTS  
   list of numbered sections in report and their page numbers
   
   INTRODUCTION  
   terms of reference
   outline of report’s structure
   
   BODY  
   headings and sub-headings which reflect the contents of each section. Includes information on method of data collection (if applicable), the findings of the report and discussion of findings in light of theory
   
   CONCLUSION

   makes recommendations
   
   REFERENCE LIST
