Introduction  \nGovernment departments and regulators all understand the importance of Data Quality and regard the quality of information as a very high priority.  \nPerformance information is increasingly being used by external bodies to assess performance, often as an alternative to inspection, and this trend is causing external bodies such as the Audit Commission to place a greater emphasis on data quality. In particular, the external audit approach of checking calculations and systems reports is evolving into a more challenging scrutiny of system controls.  \nMuch work is already","cbCaicPslSCcOBs7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicPslSCcOBs7","pdf",109092,22,"English","# 1.
