1.Information Report:
What is Information Report?
The reports that collect and organize information are informative or investigative reports.
Importance:
The information reports may records routine activities such as daily, weekly, and monthly reports of sales or
profits, they may investigate options, performance, or equipment. Although they provide information, they do not
analyze that information. Writers of information reports provide information without drawing conclusion or
making recommendations. Some information reports are highly standardized, such as police report, hospital
admittance report, monthly sales report, or government regulatory reports.
How Information Report is developed? / Parts of Information Report: There are three parts of information report:
1.Introduction
2.Body (findings)
3.Conclusion
Introduction: In the introduction we explain why we are writing. For some reports, we describe what methods and
sources were used to gather information and why they are credible. Some time we have to provide any special
background information that may be necessary. Body: In the findings section we organize the facts in a logical
sequence. We might group information in one of these patterns: Chronological
Alphabetical
Topical
Geographical
Journalism style (who, what, where, why, and how)
Simple to complex
Most to least important
We have to decide whether to use functional headings, or a combination. It should be sure that words used as
headings are parallel in structure. Conclusion: at the end we conclude by summarizing our findings or highlighting
our main points.

Tips for writing Information Report:

While writing the information report we should keep in mind...

A fingerprint in its narrow sense is an impression left by the friction ridges of a human finger.[1] The recovery of
fingerprints from a crime scene is an important method of forensic science. Fingerprints are easily deposited on
suitable surfaces (such as glass or metal or polished stone) by the natural secretions of sweat from the eccrine glands
that are present in epidermal ridges.
In a wider use of the term, fingerprints are the traces of an impression from the friction ridges of any part of a human
or other primate hand. A print from the foot can also leave an impression of friction ridges.
Deliberate impressions of fingerprints may be formed by ink or other substances transferred from the peaks of
friction ridges on the skin to a relatively smooth surface such as a fingerprint card. [2] Fingerprint records normally
contain impressions from the pad on the last joint of fingers and thumbs, although fingerprint cards also typically
record portions of lower joint areas of the fingers.
Human fingerprints are detailed, unique, difficult to alter, and durable over the life of an individual making them
suitable as long-term markers of human identity and may be employed by police or other authorities to identify
individuals who wish to conceal their identity, or to identify people are incapacitated or deceased and thus unable to
identify themselves, as in the aftermath of a natural disaster. Fingerprint analysis, in use since the early 20th century,
has led to many crimes being solved.[3] This means that many criminals consider gloves essential.[4]
