Main Part

1. Introduction: This tells the reader what your report contains. Here you should give the reader an idea of the project objectives and methodology used.

2. Body of the Report: This is the largest part of your report and it should be logically ordered, easy to read and easy to understand. One way of presenting it well is to number the sections (or main headings), sub-headings and points. For example:

1. Sub-heading

1.1 First point.

1.2 Second point relating to the same sub-heading.

Your sub-headings should be clear and lead your reader logically through the information you are presenting and the conclusions you have drawn from it.

3. Conclusion and Recommendations: here you summarize your report very briefly, noting the main points of the data.

Final part

1. Appendices: this is where you put any supplementary material that would interrupt the flow of the body of the report it could include tables, charts, diagrams, etc.
