återrapporterat

Återrapporterat is the past participle of the Swedish verb återrapportera, meaning to report back or to report again. The form functions as an adjective or as part of verb phrases in perfect tenses and passive constructions, indicating that a report has been completed and communicated to a recipient.

Återrapporterat material typically includes methods, results, conclusions, actions taken, and recommendations, and is addressed to a specific audience such as a committee, board, sponsor, or client. The word is often used to distinguish the initial report from the subsequent follow-up report.

Example: »Rapporten har återrapporterats till nämnden.« »Efter uppföljningen var allt återrapporterat till styrelsen.«
