business and academic report

Summarize: Academic Report
An academic report is a type of report you use to present information to your teacher. The main components of this type of research paper are the title, introduction, body, and conclusion. These reports also include a work cited page to give credit to the sources you use.  The work cited page is a separate sheet of paper from your report. The format of an academic report is MLA.

Summarize: Business report
A business report presents and analyzes information.  There are main parts to a business letter: front matter, body, and back matter. The front matter contains the title and table of contents. The body is the main information. The back matter contains the end notes page and the bibliography. You can use footnotes or endnotes to cite your notes. The format of the business letter has side and bottom margins, 2-intch top margins on select pages, also use headers and footers to display page numbers, report name, the date, and information.

Compare and Contrast: Business report and Academic Report
A business report and academic report are similar, but not very much. The similarities are that they both give information and cite the sources. The differences would be the way that it is formatted.

Business report: The three main components of a business report are front matter, body, and back matter. The three guidelines are setting default side and bottom margins, leave an approximate  2-inch top margin on select pages, also use headers and footers.

Academic report: In this the header should include your name, name of the class, teacher, and the date at the top let of the page. Double space is recommended so that when your paper is being graded they can make changes and give you tips on how to correct it.
