informe

An informe is a formal written report that communicates information, findings, analyses, and recommendations about a particular subject, project, or event. In Spanish, the noun informe corresponds to the English term report. It can be produced by government agencies, corporations, universities, research groups, and journalism outlets, and may be tailored to decision makers or the general public. The content typically relies on data, evidence, and sources and is designed to facilitate understanding and informed choices.

Common components of an informe include a title and cover page, an executive summary (resumen ejecutivo), an introduction stating objectives, a methods section describing data collection and analysis, a results or findings section, a discussion or analysis, conclusions, recommendations, and appendices or annexes with raw data, charts, and supporting documentation. Formats vary by field and jurisdiction; some informes are brief memoranda, others formal technical reports or annual reports.

Types of informes encompass technical reports, research reports, audit or evaluation reports, annual reports, market or feasibility studies, and incident or event reports. The style should be clear, objective, and evidence-based, with citations and sources where appropriate. In many contexts, informes are subject to review and approval processes to ensure accuracy, credibility, and appropriate dissemination to stakeholders.
