A special report is a type of financial statement that deviates from the standard format of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Special reporting helps meet information needs while maintaining professional standards and clarity. Examples of special reports include a customized report on the utilization of grant funding, or a financial presentation prepared to comply with contractual agreements or regulatory provisions.
A research report is a written document that presents the results and findings of a systematic investigation. Depending on the target audience, a research report can be either popular or technical in nature. Ideally, it should be easy to read and understand even for those without prior knowledge of the field in question. It is also expected to exclude irrelevant information and use only relevant jargons and terminologies.
In the introduction section of a research report, the researcher outlines the purpose and aims of the systematic investigation. It also highlights existing research knowledge that is relevant to the study as well as areas of inquiry that remain to be explored.
Special Report is an American political commentary show hosted by Bret Baier and previously by Brit Hume until his retirement in December 2008. The show broadcasts from CNN’s New York City studios, and on occasion, from the network’s Washington D.C. studios when breaking news events occur. During the show, tickers and graphics are modified to emphasize breaking news stories. In addition to covering politics in the United States, Special Report has covered a wide variety of international events as they unfold.
