An assessment report is a well-structured and researched document that informs a specific audience about a particular issue or topic. It is an assignment that is commonly given to university students. It is also used in business, after audits and self-assessments, control tests or independent assessments.
This type of report is more detailed than an essay, and makes use of data to support points of view. The most effective assessments are arranged in a way that is logical, with clear headings and subheadings that cut the information into digestible chunks. To give a balanced view assessment reports must be able to clearly define any shortcomings and the evaluation methods that were used.
The report of assessment should comprise an overview of the findings and a description of how the research was conducted. This can include a summary of each method, an outline of how the research was conducted including a description of the methods and tools employed to collect the data, as well as a summary and description of the results. For academic assignments, the report should describe how the research is related to current research and knowledge in the discipline.
The report must offer a detailed look at the market that is currently available for your product or service. This includes describing how big your current market is and identifying the key trends. It should also outline how your company can expand within your current market by identifying growth opportunities and developing strategies to take advantage of more market share. The financial plan should build on the research you conducted for your assessment by providing projections for future revenues as well as operating expenses, gross profits and earnings.
