How to Create an Addendum to a Report

Report addendums contribute vital afterthoughts.

When creating a report, it's understandable that you'd want the document completed when you submit it for review by a superior. However, sometimes additional information comes up after deadline that needs to be included in the report. Since the report has already been printed, the only logical way to fix this is to create an addendum.

Instructions

1. Create a new document in a word processor. Mimic the style and format of the original report by using the same fonts, headings and graphics.

2. Write out the information that needs to be added to the report. Include any charts, graphs, statistics or other data that is required.

3. Proofread the addendum to make sure it is well-written and that it matches the phrasing of the original report. You may wish to reread parts of the report to make sure of this.

4. Print out the addendum and attach it to the report with a paperclip or include it in the report slipcover. If signatures are required, obtain these before including the addendum in the report.
