A suicide attack at the end of an Ariana Grande concert in the city killed 22 people and injured hundreds on 22 May of 2017.
It is the final of three reports to be published, and it is expected to reveal the findings on whether the attack could have been prevented by MI5 and counter-terrorism police.
The report is also expected to focus on the radicalisation of Manchester-born Salman Abedi, 22, and the planning and preparation of the attack.
A number of M15 witnesses gave evidence behind closed doors as part of the inquiry, including a senior officer known as Witness J.
Detectives from North West Counter Terrorism Police also provided testimony.
