Your sub-headings should be clear and lead your reader logically through the information you are presenting and the conclusions you have drawn from it.
3. Conclusion and Recommendations: here you summarize your report very briefly, noting the main points of the data.
Final part
1. Appendices: this is where you put any supplementary material that would interrupt the flow of the body of the report it could include tables, charts, diagrams, etc.
