Final Remarks

It is also an idea to put a small section in at the end just to refresh the
reader's memory about principal recommendations and benefits. It is
simply an attempt to reinforce the main message and to remove any
lingering doubts about the wisdom of what has been said. Where this
is not an issue, you may not need this section.
As noted earlier, you have to learn to tell a good story. If you follow
this format, it will help you do just that. You will explain what the point
of the story is and then set the scene. You will go on to outline the
problem with some supporting information. Then you will write about
what you found when you entered the 'forest' and what you made of
it. Finally, you will reach some conclusions, possibly followed by some
advice about how to make a better story.

So far in this section, we have looked at the main parts of the report.
We now want to consider briefly a few other parts which go to make
the finished product. These are the title page, the table of contents,
appendices and references.

Summary
● Tie the report together with a brief statement.
● Reinforce your key message.
