Data quality issues

> Given the prominence of IATI in providing a centralised global focus on aid delivery, we want to ensure the data we deliver is accurate and timely. A concerted agency effort is needed to ensure better

quality data is entered into AusAID’s data store

Introduction of thresholds> Aim: To ensure processes are functioning well and to

quality assure information being disseminated> Reasons:

to minimise the labour intensive cleansing yet balance the need for informative and reliable data;

to maintain comparability with other donors; and to ensure ongoing manageability in delivering this

information. > Analysis of possible thresholds
