Whether the data is complete, accurate and on time, with the checks automated and the results reported to the people accountable for them.
We check that you hold all the data you need, from every source it should reach you from, and we find the gaps: the feed that stopped arriving, the field that comes through empty, the records that never made the journey. What is missing is reported alongside what depends on it, so you can see which decisions are being made on partial data.
We build the automated checks that catch errors before the data is used downstream or reaches a regulatory report, and we reconcile what you hold back to the system that produced it, so a figure that has drifted between systems is found before somebody acts on it.
We make sure the data is there when the decision needs it, such as the aggregation that has to finish before a regulatory report is filed or before the overnight run starts. We measure how long each stage takes and build the alerting that tells you a feed will be late while there is still time to do something about it.
We build the reporting that shows those checks are working: what is complete, what is accurate, what arrived on time and what is currently failing, aggregated to the standard supervisors expect and readable by the people accountable for it.
Governance work is worth what it prevents, so ask what will actually run afterwards: which checks execute on which schedule, who gets the alert, and how you would evidence completeness next quarter. At Gini we build controls that intercept errors upstream of the report, reconcile each figure back to the system that produced it, and maintain the lineage and dictionary standards that stop two teams reporting the same number differently.
Gini checks completeness, accuracy and timeliness, on a schedule matched to when the data is used. Completeness confirms you hold what you need from every source it should reach you from and names the decisions depending on any gap. Accuracy runs automated checks before an error reaches a regulatory report. Timeliness measures each stage and alerts while there is still time to act.
As far upstream as the error can be detected, because a check at the report catches the symptom and a check at ingestion catches the cause. At Gini we map each material figure back through its sources and place the control at the earliest point the problem is visible, then keep a reconciliation at the report as the backstop.
Gini builds a dictionary that has authority rather than one that documents current practice. Each material term has one definition, one owner and one implementation that reporting consumes, and a change to the definition changes the implementation. Where two teams currently disagree, resolving the definition is the first piece of work.
