Financial Data Quality Differentiated
• Financial data quality management is a business issue, and is defined as the practice by
which companies can effectively and consistently combine the following four factors:
–Financial data collection and transformation
–Repeatable financial processes
–Internal controls
–Audit trails with dynamic drill through
• Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management helps finance users increase their
confidence in the numbers and lowers their cost of compliance by eliminating data integrity
risks associated with collecting, mapping, validating, and moving critical financial data from
across the enterprise.
