Does that include me? As a consultant I would not hesitate to return a report that had been badly written and presented. I'm obviously not talking about the odd typo as these will always slip through the net, but beyond that it should be a matter of professional pride for the author and contractor to only send something out that they believe to be complete and accurate.
As has been mentioned previously, I do sometimes wonder what input the long lists of checkers and reviewers actually had into the reporting and editing process. Sometimes these things put me in mind of the closing song from a (now ancient) series of Alas Smith and Jones, which included the lines: 'Here's a list of cast and crew, Christ alone knows what they do'.
