An annual report is a document that municipalities and organizations publish each year summarizing their activities, achievements, challenges, and financial position. Municipal annual reports typically highlight major projects completed, progress on strategic priorities, service delivery statistics, and community events. Unlike the technical annual financial report, the general annual report is often designed for public readability with photos, infographics, and plain-language summaries. It serves as a communication tool helping citizens understand what their local government accomplished during the year and how it served the community.
