（五）調(diào)查結(jié)果（Findings）
報(bào)告的調(diào)查結(jié)果部分是報(bào)告建議的依據(jù)，其內(nèi)容應(yīng)當(dāng)準(zhǔn)確無(wú)誤，結(jié)構(gòu)清晰，語(yǔ)言流暢、銜接。這部分內(nèi)容的每一個(gè)段落都應(yīng)當(dāng)有一個(gè)明確的主題句，一般放在段首，這樣便于讀者攝取這部分的信息。以下是這部分主題句寫作的常見(jiàn)句型：

· It was proposed/found/ felt/discovered that…
· It was generally the case that…
· Most people thought/suggested that…
· A number of people mentioned that…

（六）結(jié)論（Conclusions）
報(bào)告的結(jié)論部分是寫報(bào)告的人在報(bào)告調(diào)查結(jié)果的基礎(chǔ)上是對(duì)調(diào)查結(jié)果進(jìn)行總結(jié)和解釋。同一調(diào)查結(jié)果會(huì)因?yàn)樽珜懻叩牟煌贸霾煌慕Y(jié)論，但這部分不應(yīng)當(dāng)包括報(bào)告前文中沒(méi)有提到的新的信息。
（七）建議（Recommendations）
建議往往是許多商務(wù)報(bào)告寫作的最重要部分。一份報(bào)告有效程度常常取決于報(bào)告中所提供的建議的質(zhì)量高低。建議部分主要內(nèi)容為報(bào)告撰寫人在經(jīng)過(guò)充分的論證后認(rèn)為應(yīng)當(dāng)采取的措施或行動(dòng)。報(bào)告人有時(shí)也會(huì)描述采取措施后可能出現(xiàn)的后果或情形。
（八）附錄（Appendices）
正式的商務(wù)報(bào)告為了增強(qiáng)報(bào)告的說(shuō)服力或真實(shí)性往往會(huì)有一些附加材料，因其篇幅較長(zhǎng)不宜放在報(bào)告當(dāng)中，只能選擇放在附錄中。這部分內(nèi)容可能包括圖表統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)、實(shí)驗(yàn)室報(bào)告、問(wèn)卷調(diào)查等。當(dāng)然，簡(jiǎn)短報(bào)告若無(wú)此需要?jiǎng)t不需增加附錄部分。
五、如何提高商務(wù)英語(yǔ)報(bào)告的可讀性
許多人在寫完報(bào)告之后往往會(huì)遺忘或忽視報(bào)告寫作的最后一個(gè)過(guò)程：對(duì)報(bào)告進(jìn)行編輯排版，使之結(jié)構(gòu)清晰，內(nèi)容便于讀者閱讀。報(bào)告中所增加的一些信息或符號(hào)如同公路上路標(biāo)指引這司機(jī)開(kāi)車一樣為讀者降低閱讀難度，加快閱讀速度，這一點(diǎn)對(duì)爭(zhēng)分奪秒的商業(yè)人士來(lái)說(shuō)尤為重要。以下是一些提供報(bào)告可讀性的常見(jiàn)手段：
· 為報(bào)告提供小標(biāo)題；
· 使用小段落，盡量做到每個(gè)小話題都用一個(gè)段落來(lái)闡述；
· 段落與段落之間空一行；
· 提供段落的小標(biāo)題；
· 使用列舉符號(hào)羅列具體信息；
· 使用星號(hào)或下劃線強(qiáng)調(diào)重點(diǎn)內(nèi)容。
下面為一份非正式報(bào)告的兩種形式，毋庸置疑，右邊經(jīng)過(guò)編輯后的版本結(jié)構(gòu)清晰、層次分明，內(nèi)容清楚、一目了然，其格式不論是對(duì)寫正式報(bào)告還是非正式報(bào)告都值得借鑒。
Proposed Incentive Scheme
Mr. John Smith, Office Manager, has asked me to write this report on
a proposed incentive scheme offering rewards, possibly financial, to
members of staff for money-saving ideas or ways to improve work
practices.
A sample of workers was individually asked for their opinions. The
following is the findings: most thought the incentive scheme was a
good idea; most preferred financial rewards; some suggested time off
instead; A few thought this was a management area. In general most
workers were in favor of an incentive scheme offering financial
rewards. It is recommended that the scheme be introduced.
