Preface

Maintaining the integrity and reliability of financial data is key to the success of any organization as more companies around the world have been using financial and operational data to make business decisions. If you’ve been working in the industry for a long time, you probably know by now that data integrity management plays a critical role in helping ensure compliance and avoiding significant financial penalties as well. Unfortunately, there is a big gap when it comes to the proper analysis and management of financial data in organizations globally. In addition to this, companies building their own internal applications and systems are not equipped with the knowledge and experience to guarantee the integrity of the financial data in the databases used to store transactions and generate reports.

I’ve written this hands-on book to help finance, data, and technical professionals learn various concepts and practical solutions to manage the integrity of the financial data used by various types of organizations. This will be equally useful to those planning to build their own internal systems and processes for handling financial transactions, records, and reports. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned professional, this book is for you!
