1)      Objective – one has to know their objective of report writing, and deliver the matter in a similar way. Report writing can be formal or informal, formal report writings have to be structured in a proper and strict format in comparison with not as structured informal reports.

2)      Length – the length of the report also plays an important role. Long and extended reports can be boring and diminishes the interest of the reader. One has to make sure that the length is appropriate for the report and does not stretch or repeat the subject matter. Keep reports medium sized and make sure you hav covered all the points.

3)      Accuracy- one of the most important things to keep in mind while writing a report is accuracy, one has to make sure that the information or the research data or any statistical data added in the report is real and not fake, all the evidence relating to the report must be added, this tends to develop a sense of trust to the reader.

4)      Structure the report – a structured report is the most important thing to focus on before writing a report; one can make a rough outline before actual writing. Report writing can be tough to read for the reader if it is not structured.

5)      Add touch – report writing is formal, but one can still add a few relevant quotes and phrases to prove our points and to support the main message behind the report. Adding touches to the report is a must but do not over do it, as report writing is different from essay writing.

6)      Add facts and researches – facts play an important role in a report writing, every written report must have a few facts relating to the topic you are writing the report on. One can do extra research on the topic other than the already mentioned data. This adds to the data and improves the quality of the written report.

These six tips are very helpful in writing formal as well as informal reports. Make sure you are not repeating any clichéd quotes as this reduces the quality of the report. Try to be unique and accurate, do not stretch and repeat any sentence over and over again, it takes away from the report.  Make sure you draw an outline first and then write the actual report, this helps to avoid mistakes in the report writing.
