A report is recording of facts onto a permanent, formal document or record; initially it may be used in criminal or civil court proceedings, internal disciplinary actions, or to refresh a person's memory and it may provide the basis for further action. A report provides details of an incident or an accident, documenting action taken because of that event, and providing continuity during investigation.
