What is an Exception Report? ...and How to Prepare One. And what's an Exception?

An Exception report is issued when something exceptional happens (an Exception), and they document the incident and how it is to be handled.

As a result, time is of the essence.

The contents of an Exception report are typically:
• The incident or situation that has arisen
• An assessment of the impacts
• Options for addressing the situation
• A recommendation for action, along with the justification and potential risks that go with it

The purpose of your Exception Report is to generate a decision. And it will be a decision that is:
• Informed by good evidence
• Considered and discussed by the right people
• Made promptly
• Documented for the record
