Business Report
Business Report
A business report is an evaluation or assessment of a particular issue
or set of circumstances or financial operations that relate to the
performance of a business.
“A business report conveys information to assist in business decision-
making. The business report is the medium in which to present this
information. Some reports might present the actual solution to solve a
business problem; other reports might record past information that is
used toward future business planning
Example
1. A company manager who is concerned about undue wastage in the packaging
department might request the Manager of the Packaging Department to look
into the issue and to submit a report that highlights the problems and recomm
ends solutions. While most business reports focus on existing issues, they can
also be predictive in nature.
2. A manager might commission a report that evaluates the current use of
computer technology in a company, and which recommends how the company
might best position itself so that it can benefit from any future developments
in computer technology.
Form of a Business Report
A business report is NOT written in essay format, but in an abbreviated styl
e that allows the reader to navigate the report quickly and to identify key el
ements. It uses appropriate headings and subheadings and, if necessary, bu
llet points, diagrams and tables. Remember that the main function of a busi
ness report is to communicate relevant information quickly, clearly, and effi
ciently.
In essence it does three things:
• Identifies the Issue
• Explores the Issue
• Lists key Findings and makes Recommendations
