Hi,
BO reports are a different technology, and (as far as I'm aware) there is no tool that will allow you to migrate them to Cognos reports. You can bring in BO universes when modelling in Framework Manager, but there's nothing for reports. They will need to be re-created based on the new metadata models you create in Framework Manager.

I was started on a similar BO -> Cognos migration project a few months ago, and did a lot of research on the possibilities of automation. But over a year into the project, the bank pulled the plug on it, giving me the opportunity to look for new career possibilities elsewhere ;-/
I agree with all that MF says. There are no automated BO -> Cognos conversion tools. In addition to which, several BO universes, typically built each with a single data source, could advantageously be recreated in a single FM project with multiple data sources, facilitating report creation. But if you're under time pressure, I guess that's not an option for you.
I bookmarked this link on DeveloperWorks, where there's a conversion doc in attachment: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/html/topic?id=77777777-0000-0000-0000-000014580387 (https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/html/topic?id=77777777-0000-0000-0000-000014580387)
But I didn't get the occasion to form an opinion on its usefulness.
Good luck
