Bus/Financial - Accounting / audit report
French term or phrase: support de restitution
In an audit report made for a French wastewater treatment company, this phrase crops up immediately after a list of report recipients.

"Ce support de restitution a été partagé avec les personnes ci-dessus en avril 2018."

Does it refer to the presentation of the report, and the form it takes? The source file is in PowerPoint.

neutral  Daryo: have you tried to find real life samples of how "support de restitution" is used? All I could find supports what Marco Solinas found + "easier to read" is of no concern - the target audience is supposed to be capable of understanding it as it is.

I have seen it translated as "output device", but I am not sure that would fit in your context.
