angeführt vs genannt

mentioned / called

'genannt' and 'angeführt' can both appear in texts or lists when referring to people, things, or points. 'genannt' simply says that something has a name or has already been mentioned. 'angeführt' fits better when someone or something leads a group or stands as the first item in a list. In a report, 'die genannten Gründe' (the reasons mentioned) sounds neutral: they are the reasons that have already been talked about. 'die angeführten Gründe' sounds more like these reasons were put forward as arguments or listed in a sequence.
