    I think you are talking about QA task.You have to reviews the reports you got from any source, for that you should be well familiar with standards and customer requirements, because that should your baselines when reviews them.
    Test them according to requirements and standards.

    Testing reports is one complex task. One has to clearly and completely understand the database structure. A person involved in database design would be handy. All reports are generated with data taken from the database.

    So to test reports, one has to be very clear with what information is coming from which table in the database.

    Testing reports involves testing of the following:

    -format
    -contents (this is where knowledge of database structure comes in very-very handy)
    order of contents
    correctness of contents
    completeness of contents
    -headers and footers
    -page numbers, dates and other such information
    -availability and functionality of internal and external links
    -and more according to requirements.

    Lack of WILL POWER has caused more failure than
    lack of INTELLIGENCE or ABILITY.
