A report is a structured document that presents the results of an investigation or study on a topic to convey information to others. It involves five stages: preparation, assessment, planning, expression, and review. A report includes standard sections like a title page, contents page, summary, introduction, main body with findings, and conclusion, and may also include recommendations and references. The purpose is to provide an organized, factual, and objective presentation of information on the subject matter.
