Reporting

“Writing is a skill not a talent.” (Robert Stacy McCain)
Reporting

Reports are essential instruments of organizational communication. Reports contain information provided by specialists from one area for specialists in other areas for the latter to take further actions or informed decisions. They enable seamless communication and efficient information flows. Whether they come as proceedings, concepts, or final and business reports, they address a specific audience and must contain all the relevant information explained in a language that is customary in the market. When reports are well conceptualized and well written, they bring clarity, improve collaboration and results, and substantially contribute to effective communication.

Reporting in Social Institutions

For social institutions, like social welfare offices, charities, youth homes, and institutions for people with special needs, reports are an essential communication tool. They enable internal documentation and as well as external communication with official bodies and stakeholders in different formats. Given that reports provide the basis for important decisions, they must comply with formal and linguistic guidelines. Yet, report writing often takes a lot of time and entails insecurities, delays, and an inefficient use of resources.

We assess your current reports and show you specific optimization strategies for you to improve the quality of your reports, and we train your team in in-house workshops. This will not only improve the quality of your reporting but also make it less time and resource consuming in the future.

Well written reports strengthen an institution from within. They don’t only provide internal and external addressees with relevant information, they also sharpen the analytic eye of the writer.

Reporting in Work Integration

Written reports are among the most important reporting tools for institutions in work integrations. Over the course of the counseling, counselors and job coaches write minutes and client reports addressed at internal and external bodies with the aim of documenting the progress and staying focused. These reports are relevant for different bodies and thus must comply with certain standards, which means that writing such reports often takes time. This brings about uncertainties, delays, and an inefficient use of resources. Good minutes and reports don’t only increase efficiency, they also guide the procedure and improve the use of resources.

For this reason, investing in optimizing the quality of the reports pays off on several levels. We help you improve the quality of your proceedings and reports with lasting effects.

Reporting in the Penitentiary System

Protocols and reports are the most important instrument for internal documentation and external reporting in the penitentiary system.

Audit Reporting

Audit teams produce one main output: audit reports. Audit reports contain a substantial amount of sensitive information assembled and presented by auditors and other financial experts. They usually follow a given template and must provide both specific details as well as an accessible management summary for the management to quickly grasp the relevant information and take action, if needed. Accordingly, audit reports must meet highest standards of precision and clarity for a potentially unfamiliar audience. We support audit teams in securing the high quality of their audit reports regarding structure, format, and language.

Our services include:

An external assessment can help secure that the quality of audit reports remains high. An external expert spots potential shortcomings and knows how to remedy them. We work as external reviewers and sparring partners with audit team heads to elaborate lasting solutions in close collaboration with the team.

Writing excellent audit reports takes practice. We practice efficient audit report writing either in team seminars or individual sessions to show auditors how to structure and present relevant information in a way that is clear and complies with corporate regulations. We always work with internal documents. We’re particularly experienced with multilingual and international teams.
