1. Difference between reports to enhance business performance and standard internal review reports
　　Reports aimed at specifically enhancing business performance may vary from standard internal review or audit reports in a number of ways. In particular, reports to enhance business performance will be:
　　More consultancy in style and approach
　　Less exception based and more concentrated on the future delivery of performance rather than past errors or risks
　　Less focused on risk and controls and more focused on performance, objectives and processes
　　more analytical of business performance rather that analytical of risks and findings
　　more recommendations on improvements rather than focus on actions to address specific findings raised
　　tailored to the individual demands of the review rather than using a standard reporting format.
　　2. Reporting to enhance business performance
　　As with any other report, objectives for the review and subsequent reports need to be clearly agreed at the start of reviews, along with the format and agreed distribution list. This allows the report to be constructed during the course of the review.
　　The report should have an Executive Summary that makes maximum impact and that is clear and concise.
　　The report will include analysis of business performance, along with proposals and recommendations for improving performance.
