Content
An introduction that indicates the purpose of the report
The main part, which addresses the main issues (Use Graphs and Tables)
The Conclusion with clearly stated results
References

students should have a clearly stated objective of delivering real added-value to the business
world, it may either be a Consulting Project carried out in a firm on a specific issue, or a

Insurance company).

The FINAL PROJECT should be executed in the form of a report and should contain:
– A clear and informative cover page

Introduction. The introduction contains the following main points:
– Main idea
– The relevance of the chosen idea, its theoretical and/or practical significance
– An explanation of how, by what methods, and in what order the author intends to solve
the issues
– An announcement of the structure of the work (the title of the chapters of work and
their brief descriptions)
– Characteristic of the main sources of information
The introduction should be short (no more than two-three pages) and clear. It should be made
clear from the introduction what the work (the purpose of the work) is devoted to, what tasks
and by what methods are solved in it, and what results should be achieved.
The main part of the work is the main content.
The essence of practical research is revealed in
this part, that is, the entire course of the search and evidence of the correctness of decisions
are carefully prescribed. The main goal of this part of the work is to answer the question
expressed in the Final Project. Each chapter of the work should be concluded with brief
conclusions.
Conclusion. In conclusion, it is necessary to clearly formulate the results obtained during the
implementation of the FP and the main conclusions to which the author has come. Conclusions
should be concise and organically drawn from the content of the work.
Applications are not an obligatory element of the FP structure. It is advisable to introduce
applications
when the author uses a relatively large number of cumbersome tables, statistical
material, and computer program listings. Such material, placed in the main part, would make it
difficult to read the work.
