Good presentation can make a report clearer. Consider the following points when writing your report:

	Overall impact - typed or word processed reports are generally preferred, and should be presented in a folder or plastic wallet - whatever you think is suitable.
	Headings - should be clearly ranked. Look at the example below and you can see there are three styles of headings - one for main sections, one for sub-sections, and one for further sub-sections.
	Numbering - numbering your sections makes the report easier to follow. A common system is to number a main section, then for sub-sections to place a dot after the main section number and begin to number again. You can continue to a further level. This makes it easier to refer the reader to a specific part of the report, e.g. paragraph 3.2.2, rather than to say "about half way down page 5".

Example from a report reviewing methods of payment in car parks:

Note in this example that the Executive Summary does not form part of the numbering system. This is normal practice in report writing - the summary should "stand alone" from the rest of the report.
