* Medical Coders/Billers: In healthcare, they create ancillary reports related to billing and coding for services rendered.
* Paralegals/Legal Assistants: In law, they might prepare ancillary reports summarizing discovery or evidence.
* Administrative Assistants/Secretaries: In various settings, they may compile data and create reports to support larger projects or presentations.
* Research Assistants: In academia or research institutions, they could prepare reports on data analysis or literature reviews supporting a larger study.
* Data Analysts: In many fields, they create reports summarizing data relevant to a specific question or task.
The key is that the person writing an ancillary report is generally *not* the primary decision-maker or lead researcher/professional involved in the main project. Instead, they provide supporting information or data analysis.
