Advisers often end up with lengthy, over-technical reports that can get confusing and overwhelming for clients, specifically for those with low knowledge and experience. This is often due to the fear of needing to include everything that deems a file compliant within the whole suitability report, but what is key here is the need to be in a report, vs the need to be in the file.
