Special report is a type of financial statement that deviates from the standard format of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These reports are issued under professional standards to elaborate, explain, or exhibit in prescribed fashion certain sections, accounts, or items of a financial statement. They are also required for compliance with contractual agreements or regulatory provisions related to audited financial statements and can be performed as a separate engagement or alongside a normal financial statement audit.
The research report Introduction section is where researchers highlight the research problem and aims of their systematic investigation. They are also expected to include a summary of previous knowledge in the area of study and describe any jargons or terminologies that may need explaining. The literature review is the next section of the research report, where authors present a survey of different research works in the field of study and analyze their findings.
Finally, in the Expert Opinion section, researchers discuss their main results from the systematic investigation and how they will impact the future of the field of study. They are also required to provide recommendations for further research in the area of study.
