A) A LONG REPORT
A long report is simply an expansion of a short report. A short report needs less detailed
introductions and visual aids. Short reports may be formal or informal. Long reports are
usually formal. A long report involves a deeper discussion and is more complex in nature
than a short report. A short report includes introduction, body and terminal section,
whereas, a long (formal) report includes preliminary section, a body and supplementary
material. Planning is the first step towards writing a long report. Planning would
comprise the following:
1) AUDIENCE RECOGNITION
What is the target audience? What action needs to be taken? Who is going to read?
my report? Categorize different types of document readers.
2) WRITING PURPOSE
Why am I writing? What was the situation that led to the need for this document?
What was the purpose of writing the report? What I want to achieve with my writing?
3) ORGANIZATION OF REPORT
What is the central idea that I am focusing upon? How I am going to present my
ideas? What are the things I want to include?
What visual aids will be used? To what extent these visual aids will be used? Will
these help in making message more precise and clear? Will the document reader
be able to understand the visual aids?
5) WRITING STYLE
What is the writing diction that will be followed? Which writing style will be the
most effective?
The prefatory section of a long report comes before the body of the report. A prefatory
section comes first in a long report but may be designed in the last. It has four parts:

1) THE TITLE PAGE
The title page includes the title, the name of the person writing the report, his rank
or position, and the date of submission. The title should be appropriate, clear,
specific and concise. It should be eight to ten words long. A report title covers
briefly what the report covers. A five W’s (who, when, where, what, why)
approach should be followed while writing the cover page. In case of highly
technical reports, the contact details of author and his project members are also
included.

like . Hindu writers usually write “Om” or use

ABSTRACT
ENTREPRENEUR ACCOUNTS MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
This project is designed for accounts maintenance purposes. It was sponsored by XYZ
Corporation. It is a modern inventory system which makes manual system computerized.
The project took almost six months to complete. It was designed using SQL server 2000
and VB.net. Day-to- day transactions are performed. Voucher entries are made, processed
and saved in a back-end database. Any person having a good knowledge of accounts is
eligible to use it. It is following the format of “PEACHTREE SOFWARE”. Different
statements like income statement, cash flow statement and balance sheet are generated.
Further reports include Trial balance sheet, Chart of Accounts report, General Journal and
General ledger. The system provides security and authentication as well. Multiple users’
access is not allowed.
For an authorized user, transaction processing can be done. For other unauthorized users,
it is read-only.
The project analysis, prototyping and design were a difficult task. A flexible prototype
model was developed.
Finally, the XYZ Corporation will start using it after three months.
