Creating a report outline is a systematic process of organizing your research and ideas into a logical ‘skeleton’ before you begin the actual writing. So the first step is to clarify the purpose (what you are informing) and who your target audience is. A standard report structure includes a title, introduction, body paragraphs (methods, results, discussion), conclusion, and recommendation. Also, ensure clarity in your structure. And for that, ensure all headings are at the same level and use the same grammatical form throughout. Professional Report Writers In NZ suggests splitting a heading into two parts if it has 5-7 points.
