The executive summary is a concise overview of the report that provides the reader with the key findings and recommendations. It is typically placed at the beginning of the report, before the body of the report. The letter of transmittal is a cover letter that accompanies the report and provides the reader with information about the report, such as the purpose of the report, the intended audience, and the date of the report. Combining the executive summary with the letter of transmittal is a common practice that allows the reader to quickly get an overview of the report and its key findings.
