We generally advise not to use PowerPoint for reports – it’s designed for presentations and that’s what it’s best for. It’s easy for slides to end up crammed with tiny text that’s tough to read.However, views on best practice do vary from organisation to organisation. Check with the board or senior team whether they prefer one over the other.Crucially, if you do use PowerPoint for your report, remember that a version designed to be read as a report is very unlikely to also work well as a presentation deck.
