2.3 Investigative report Note An investigative report
can be written informally in memo form or as a short formal report.
From time to time organisations experience problems which could range from staff being absent too oſten to sales dropping or television programmes losing viewer numbers, etc. It can be very costly to hire specialists to investigate the problem and to recommend a solution. You will find it challenging to write your first investigative report, but once you know what to do and how to do it, it will be easier. We hope to guide you step by step with what to do and how to do it, but you have to concentrate and follow each step precisely.
How to write a short formal investigative report 1. Write the report under the five headings. See overleaf. 2. Write in the past tense but make recommendations in the future tense. 3. Where necessary, use the third person (the compiler, the investigator) and not the first person (I, we).
4. Use reported speech and not direct speech. 5. Be specific, e.g. say how many filled in the questionnaire. 7. Use objective language.
