A backward view of troublesome reports etc (10)
I believe the answer is:
retrospect
'a backward view' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'troublesome reports etc' is the wordplay.
'troublesome' indicates anagramming the letters.
'reports'+'etc'='reportsetc'
'reportsetc' with letters rearranged gives 'RETROSPECT'.
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for retrospect that I've seen before include "Hindsight" , "Contemplation of the past" , "A backward view" , "Survey of past events" , "Look(ing) back" .)
