reports
Documents findings formally
Reports are accounts of events, findings, or information, usually delivered to someone in authority: The committee submitted its reports to the board.
A report can be a document, a spoken account, or news coverage.
To report is to give an account, to present oneself (report for duty), or to inform on someone.
A report is also a sharp explosive sound, especially from a gun: The report of the rifle echoed through the valley.
