When beginning to develop your report, you will have to determine how to develop it, as a simple memo, or a long, formal report. Long reports should be developed as formal reports. The word long generally means ten pages or more, but as a writer you have to decide based on the report context. Writers should select elements to help readers make their way through the report. The longer the report and the more diverse the readership, the more elements you must include to help readers find what they need. Each element has a different purpose and often targets the needs of different readers. Reports are not novels: most reports will not be read cover to cover but selectively.
