Task
You have to choose an organisation (Australian based organisation or based in any other country), as long as you have access to vital information from the organisation and you have to write about three key issues relating to that organisation. Furthermore, within your work you have to have evidence of research too (as this is a vital area of academia too).

REPORT WRITING
This is an ordered list of the different sections and subsections of your report. It must include numbered section headings and subheadings, with their relevant pages. This indicates to your reader where various sections of your discussion can be found.
Note: Table of contents should also be on a separate page. (No page number)
The introduction should generally include three key types of information.
This section is where information relevant to the topic is presented. It is similar to the 'body' section of an essay. It must be fully referenced throughout, using various resources to support ideas. It should be organised logically, using topic headings, subheadings and minor subheadings to break it into sections and sub-sections based on the ideas being discussed. All headings must be numbered sequentially.
Length of a discussion is approximately 60% of total word count.

The purpose of the conclusion is to provide a summary of the major findings. It effectively attempts to answer the key questions posed in the introduction.
When writing a conclusion it may be useful to consider the following:
Consider each of the key sections of your report- what was the main point made in
each section?
Often when writing a report specific recommendations for future actions are requested. These can be included as a separate section after the conclusion or even as a part of the conclusion (using a sub-heading).
Recommendations should state what actions should be implemented based on the findings of the report. You may list these in bullet points or small paragraphs.
This list includes the full publication details of all books, articles, Web sites and other sources referred to in the report.
The referencing styles at VIT: APA styles
Specifically, the purposes of the first draft are:
Style, grammar, spelling and presentation are of only minor importance at this stage. These aspects are an important part of the final product because a person reading your report will expect a clear, well-written piece of work, but at this stage you are not writing for your reader. You are writing for yourself - to get your ideas down on paper in a structured form.
For that reason, you should write as fast as you can - let your thoughts flow freely. Do not be restricted by considerations such as correct expression, choosing the right word or spelling. They can be considered when you do your second draft.

Revision of your draft is your own responsibility.
Revision is successful when a thorough, systematic approach is used. One systematic way to ensure that your revision is thorough and that you produce a better document is to tackle the task of redrafting as several discrete tasks, rather than as one large one where you work through the document from beginning to end.
Revise the document several times, on each occasion looking at different aspects.
Ask yourself the following questions to which you should pay specific attention during the redrafting process:
Moves from the general to the specific. Your first revision should address the more general questions such as structure and coverage of material. Subsequent revisions would consider more specific areas such as language and spelling. Moving from the specific to the general would be counter-productive. There is little point in correcting spelling and improving the grammar of the material that may later be considered redundant or which has to be reworded for use in a different context.
In the final editing stage, the emphasis is on producing a correct piece of work. Inadequate proofreading can produce a report that is difficult to read.
When you proofread:
As with the redrafting stage, reading the assignment aloud or having someone else read it are effective ways of finding errors.
