Abstract
According to the dictionary a report is ‘an account or opinion formally expressed, after investigation or consideration’. It will be seen from this definition that a report is considered to be formal and is required to give an account of the matter covered or to state an opinion on it. Sometimes both are required. Moreover, in most cases conclusions have to be drawn by the compiler and, often, recommendations given.
