Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An executive summary is a condensed version of the longer report that provides an overview of the main points and findings. It allows busy readers to quickly understand the essential information without having to read the entire document. A complete abstract may also serve a similar purpose, but it is less commonly used than an executive summary. A brief synopsis and report outline may be components of the executive summary, but they are not complete summaries on their own.
