Summarize the four tasks involved in completing business reports and proposals.

When you have finished your first draft you need to perform four tasks to complete your document: revise, produce, proofread, and distribute.
The revision process is essentially the same for reports as for other business messages, although it may take considerably longer, depending on the length of your document.
Evaluate your organization, style, and tone to make sure that your content is clear, logical, and reader oriented. Then work to improve the report's readability by varying sentence length, keeping paragraphs short, using lists and bullets, and adding helpful headings and subheadings.
After assembling your report or proposal in its final form, review it thoroughly one last time, looking for inconsistencies, errors, and missing components. Don't forget to proof your visuals and make sure they are positioned correctly. For online reports, make sure all links work as expected and all necessary files are active and available.
