Learning Objectives
After attending this seminar, you'll understand:
- the financial, operational and legal risks of relying on poor-quality data
- how to measure the impact of "non-quality"
- how to reward responsible accountability
Program content
Sarbanes-Oxley, Basel II, the USA PATRIOT act, the EU Directive on Data Protection. Enron, MCI/WorldCom, Parmalat, Barings Bank. Overruns, account errors, audits, theft, missing inventory, overtime pay, employment discrimination.
Any and all of these explain why data quality is critical to a business. More expansive reporting requirements and data privacy restrictions require more thorough and accurate data management. Corporate fraud and mismanagement, either hidden by lax data control policies or caused by reliance on inaccurate data, wreak havoc in the marketplace. Everyday profitability and competitive advantage are challenged by inaccurate, untimely and unavailable data.
What can you do? What should you do? Join Claudia Imhoff for a discussion of the risks and consequences of relying on poor-quality data. Learn ways to measure and monitor your data quality to determine if you're satisfying your data quality requirements. Find out how you can identify and encourage data accountability company-wide.
