Executive Summary

• Your executive summary should summarise the other sections of your plan. It should include key financial numbers from your plan, as well as brief summaries of other important sections.
• Conclude the executive summary with the purpose of report and ensure it links to the question.
• Remember, it's not an index, but a list of key points and findings that are found in the report. This is so the reader has a general overview of what's involved in the whole report.
• A lot of people find writing the executive summary last is the easiest way to do it.

Body

• Use diagrams tables and graphs where necessary.
• Use business terminology.

Instead of doing recommendations/key findings, could you include it in the conclusion?

yep, you could make an insightful comment. recommendations are not absolutely necessary, and often these can be integrated into the body of the essay anyway! hope this helps.
