I am unsure about “recommended format,” and I also do not like “This document presents.” It also has a lot of big words (three syllables and more). Mild proposal:

This document proposes a format for web accessibility evaluation reports based on WCAG 2.0. A consistent and detailed report can help ensure effective and accurate evaluations and allows to compare results over time.
