ご報告いたします。〇〇の作業が本日完了いたしました。ご確認をお願いしてもよろしいでしょうか。 — I have a report. [Task] was completed today. Would it be alright to ask you to verify it? (Workplace · Reporting, Formal to Superior, JLPT N2)

Gesture & etiquette

Open with 「ご報告いたします」as a verbal signal that important information follows. Approach at an appropriate time — not when the superior is mid-task or on a call. Bow slightly when speaking and maintain calm confidence.

In Japanese 報・連・相 (horenso) culture, completing a task without proactively reporting it is considered unprofessional. Always report completion to your direct superior and, if applicable, send a written email summary. Requesting confirmation shows thoroughness rather than presuming automatic acceptance.
