The Board Reports page provides executive-level compliance reports tailored to five major regulatory frameworks. Each report is generated on-demand from your current platform data and downloaded as a professionally formatted Microsoft Word document (.docx). These reports are designed to be presented directly to your board of directors, management body, or supervisory authority without additional formatting.

Downloading a Report

Step 1: Navigate to Board Reports

Open the sidebar and click Reports under the Reports & Settings section. The Board Reports page displays all five framework report cards.

Step 2: Choose Your Framework Report

Identify the report you need by its colour-coded card and framework name. Review the brief description on the card to confirm it covers the sections you require.

Step 3: Click Download Report

Click the Download Report button on the desired card. The platform will immediately begin generating the report from your current data. A loading spinner appears on the button during generation.

Step 4: Save the Document

Once generated, the .docx file downloads automatically through your browser. The filename follows the pattern: [Framework]-Board-Report-[YYYY-MM-DD].docx. Open it in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or any compatible word processor.

Step 5: Review and Distribute

Review the generated report for accuracy. The report reflects data as of the moment of generation. Add any manual commentary or board-specific context before distributing to your management body.

Tip
Reports are generated on-demand from live platform data. For the most accurate reporting, ensure all modules are up to date before generating a board report. There is no limit on how many times you can generate a report.
Data Completeness
If a module has no data (for example, no incidents have been recorded), the corresponding section in the report will indicate that no records are available. The report will still generate successfully; empty sections are clearly labelled rather than omitted.

Report Formatting

All generated reports follow a consistent professional format suitable for board presentation:

  • Cover page with your organization name, report title, framework name, generation date, and Venvera branding
  • Table of contents with hyperlinked section headings
  • Executive summary with key metrics and compliance score
  • Detailed sections with tables, charts description, and narrative summaries
  • Colour-coded status indicators matching the framework theme colour
  • Footer with page numbers and confidentiality notice

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I schedule automatic report generation?
Currently, reports are generated on-demand only. Scheduled generation is planned for a future release.

What period does the report cover?
Reports include all current data in the platform at the time of generation. Historical comparison data (e.g., incident trends) typically covers the current quarter versus the previous quarter.

Can I customise the report content?
The report structure is fixed per framework to ensure regulatory completeness. You may add custom content after downloading the Word document.
