The Elernents of Formal Reports
Because they are more complex than
memo-informal reports, they require
a more formally structured format
with a number of basic elements that
orient readers to the report's topics
and organization. .
Those elements unique to the formal
report are the front material and the
method of presenting the body.
Other elements -appendixes,
reference sections, introductions,
conclusions, and recommendations-
are often associated with the formal
report but do not necessarily make
the report formal; they could also
appear in an informal report.
The formal front material includes
the title page, the table of contents,
and the list of illustrations.
• Almost all formal reports contain a
summary at the front, and many also
have a letter of transmittal.
The body is often presented in
"chapters," each major section
starting at the top of a new page.
Because these reports often present
recommendations, they have two
organizational patterns: traditional
and administrative.
