It is common to find a small section titled "Acknowledgments" at the beginning of any book. You may also find this same section in research reports, academic writings and other lengthy documentation in cases where the author has benefited from the assistance of other people.
The purpose of the "Acknowledgments" section is for the author to formally thank anyone or any organisation that has provided assistance in the research or the writing of the document.
Take a look at some reports with an acknowledgment section:
