4. Controlling the Risk: How the adverse consequences of the assessment can be managed (controlled)
5. Recommendations for Monitoring, Evaluation and Review. A concluding section which provides a critical analysis of the issue
The report is to be referenced in APA Style (both in-text and in the refence list. References in the list must be in text at least once) and formatted to the ICMS published standards and formats.
