There are also some writing styles to consider:

Keep It Simple. Don’t try to impress; rather try to communicate. Keep sentences short and to the point. Do not go into a lot of details unless it is needed. Make sure every word needs to be there, that it contributes to the purpose of the report.
Use the Active Voice. An active voice makes the writing move smoothly and easily. It also uses fewer words than the passive voice and gives an impact to the writing by emphasizing the person or thing responsible for an action.
Mind Your Grammar. Read the report aloud and have someone proofread it for you.
