MAIN REPORT [31 records]

Record 1 2024-05-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Business and Administrative Documents
  • Meetings and Assemblies (Administration)
CONT

The minutes of a meeting are a record of the circumstances of the meeting, including the names of the participants, the topics discussed and the decisions reached. The minutes should include all essential information in as concise a form as possible. Special attention should be paid to the wording of resolutions, motions and other decisions, particularly if there is a chance that there will be differences of opinion on what was resolved, moved or decided. If it is a formal meeting, all motions must be written out verbatim.

CONT

Your minutes must show: who was at the meeting, and who could have been there (apologies/absent); that the previous minutes were approved (and amendments if necessary); the status of actions from previous meetings; the decisions that were made; the actions that resulted from those decisions.

CONT

The difference between minutes and report of a meeting is that minutes are more structured and detailed, while a report is shorter and covers the main points.
