Put the guide into practice
- Choose the reporting period and audience before collecting totals. Keep currencies separate unless you have an explicit, consistent conversion method.
- Compare recorded transactions with the relevant budget and prior period. Explain one-off charges and recurring changes so readers can interpret the difference.
- Separate observed facts from assumptions and planned actions. Link material exceptions to their source records and responsible roles.
- End with decisions, owners and due dates. A report should make the next action clear rather than simply repeat a dashboard total.
