Report standards will have two levels: a technical level and a presentation level.

On a technical level it relates to following suggested best practices:
Examples: Having variables identified with v_xxxx, deleting all unused variables, ensuring that your report is optimal in the objects that you have selected and where you apply aggregation, providing prompts to help reduce data fetches, proper use of contexts etc
I.e. if you have to pull a million rows to sum some data on a report, rather request a new object to sum the data on the database before sending it to the report …
Look around for some presentations and read the vendor guides:
Here’s a good place to start http://www.integrasolutions.net/library_presentations.htm#reporting

On a presentation level you need to adopt a corporate standard as to how you define your reports - typically by using a template to make sure your Logo, colours, date & time, page numbering etc are all consistant across all reports.

bo_cherry: I think you should focus on achieving the standard set by your corporation or your client corporation.
