Report Writing: Format and Language

Internal Report

Reports aim simply to inform, update or increase awareness in a selected audience of a certain matter, event or issue. Sometimes, they aim to obtain approval from their audience by putting forward information and supporting facts. The tone of voice is therefore persuasive, in addition to being formal and restrained.
