Formal Communication
The longer the problem and the more formal the situation, the more elaborate the report is likely to be (Rentz, Flatley, & Lentz, (2011), Ch 11, pp. 339). The shorter the problem and the more informal the situation, the less elaborate the report is likely to be (Rentz, Flatley, & Lentz, (2011), Ch 11, pp. 339).
When preparing an accounting report for your peers the report should be formal. Not as formal as an accounting report that is being prepared for an organization or for a client. An accounting report for your peers needs to contain all the information that is relevant and needs to be professional. The report for the manager would be a little bit different than the accounting report being prepared for one of your peers. If the accounting report was for a manager, it would be more formal than the report that is prepared for your peers. The report for management would also possibly contain extra information or details directed specifically toward management. For a business client, an accounting report that is being prepared would be the most formal type of report used. Any report prepared, for a business client or any client at all, should be completely formal. Which should include a cover sheet and any additional sections that would be used for a client, but not used internally (with management or peers).
