Writing Short Reports

Short reports are practical and to the point. They show that work is being done, and they also show your boss that you are alert, professional, and reliable. A short report can be defined as an organized presentation of relevant data on any topic that a company or agency tracks in its ongoing operations.

Although there are many kinds of short reports, they all are written for readers who need factual information so that they can get a job accomplished. Never think of the reports you write as a series of casual notes jotted down for your convenience. A business report is especially concerned with business activities, covers the company's situation, business trend and financial activities.

Always take into account your readers’ needs and expectations at every stage of your writing, take accurate and complete notes, document carefully what you write about, write objectively and ethically, present complicated data clearly and concisely, provide background and context where necessary, and provide specific recommendations, where called for, based upon the facts. Remembering these basic rules will earn you praise and possibly promotions at work.
