Executive summary Important: • Your report should start
with an executive summary. • An executive summary
should summarise the key points of the report (maximum
300 words). • The key elements of the executive
summary must include the following elements (1) the
purpose of the report, (2) objectives that you aim to
accomplish in your report, (3) key findings, (4)
conclusions drawn, and (5) recommendations. • Note you
will only indicate the conclusions drawn from your
evaluation in reports 1, 2, and 3, and NOT make any
recommendations for future management action in the
first report. MNB3701/PORTFOLIO OF WORK/SEMESTER

report are only to be made in the final report. • Write the
executive summary only once you have completed all the
other required sections of the first report. (5 marks)
The executive summary is a crucial component of your report, providing a concise overview of
the entire document. Here’s a breakdown of how to structure the executive summary based on
the instructions provided:
1. Purpose of the Report: Begin by briefly stating why the report was created. This might
include the context, background, or specific issues addressed in the report.
2. Objectives: Outline the primary objectives you aimed to achieve with this report. These
should be clear and specific, giving the reader an understanding of the report's goals.
3. Key Findings: Summarize the most important findings from your analysis or research.
This section should highlight the main points without going into too much detail.
4. Conclusions: Present the conclusions you've drawn from the findings. This should
provide a concise interpretation of the data and insights gained.
5. Recommendations: While the instruction specifies not to include recommendations in
the first report, this section will be relevant in the final report where you provide
actionable suggestions based on your conclusions.
Since recommendations are not to be included in the first report, ensure that your executive
summary for the initial submission focuses on the purpose, objectives, key findings, and
conclusions. The summary should be succinct and to the point, ideally not exceeding 300 words.
