Effective Report Writing (contd)Proof reading image

Writing - Proof reading
Always review - read over and critically examine - your report before submitting it. Ask yourself 'does this make sense?'

  • Check you have used short active sentences rather than passive sentences

  • Ask someone else to look it over

  • Have you got the key messages across

  • Check for spelling and grammatical errors - poor grammar and spelling can make your meaning unclear and your reports difficult and annoying to read

These simple steps should now help you write effective business reports.
