23/24 Through the Audit Committee Lens Series – Data Quality – Board Reporting

High quality data is important to the NHS as it helps to identify trends and patterns, draw comparisons and predict future events and outcomes. 

The Audit Committee is responsible for providing assurance to the Board on the organisation’s systems and processes of internal control and should have oversight and challenge of the processes within the organisation to ensure that performance reporting meets the six key data quality domains (accuracy, completeness, consistency, timeliness, validity and uniqueness).

This briefing is designed to help Audit Committees collate evidence to provide assurance to the Board in this area.
