I want to script a daily report of all EC2 usage and send the summary to my stakeholders. Are there systems already in place to do this or has someone already built a script for this?

There is no easy way to my knowledge to write a script to do this. I would consider using cloud management softwares. They provide monitoring tools to track EC2/S3 usage, offering either their custom tools or integrating Amazon CloudWatch. Ylastic and RightScale are two of them, but you can check out as well Scalr (disclaimer: I work there) or enStratus. Alerts and notifications (via email or SMS) are currently on our roadmap.
