The Special Report and Research Report

The special report is a television program that follows major news stories from the United States and around the world. The show, first launched in 1996, is known for its incisive discussions about political issues from Washington and its impact on Americans and the world. The program is anchored by Bret Baier, who replaced original host Brit Hume in 2007. The show is broadcast from Fox News’ studios on Capitol Hill in Washington.

In financial reporting, the term special report refers to a customized financial statement that deviates from the standard format of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). This type of specialized report addresses unique information needs while maintaining professional standards and addressing applicable laws and regulations. Special reports may be required for compliance with contractual agreements or regulatory provisions and typically include specific elements, accounts, or items in the financial statements.

Research report

A research report is a comprehensive account of the findings and results of a systematic investigation. It introduces the research problem and aims of the study and highlights existing knowledge in the area of investigation. It also identifies gaps in knowledge that the researcher’s systematic investigation seeks to fill. A research report contains all pertinent data and findings from the research process, including any supplementary information such as tables and graphs. It is important to write a research report with the intended audience in mind because it determines how technical or accessible the content should be.
