report

report
Verb: To give information, as where an officer reports the result of an investigation to his superior. Noun: Repute. A presentation of facts, sometimes in formal detail, as in the case of the statement of an executor, administrator, guardian, trustee, or receiver, accompanying his account, and setting forth the circumstances of his administration of the estate. The statement of the financial condition of a corporation and the amount of business transacted for the period, furnished to stockholders and public officers having supervision over corporate affairs at regular periods or sometimes at irregular periods, as in the case of special reports. A citation requiring a guardian to make a report of his administration is construed as equivalent to a direction to him to render an account. See Heisen v Smith, 138 Cal 216, 71 P 180. See referee's report; rumor.
