When delivering effective reports for clients its important to keep them as concise and clear as possible. Here are some tips for writing in my experience:

- Write for the reader
Put yourself in the readers shoes as you write. If you were him, what information and angle is important to you.

- Use the CASED methodology
Critically examine the alternative to your suggestion
Analogy or Example to help in understanding
Support your suggestion with emperical evidence, charts and graphs. Don't overkill though.
Executive summarys should be provided at the beginning.
Diagnos based on proven frameworks and practices.
