Information Quality

Information quality is about the right information and information that is right, for the right people, and at the right time

• The right information means that it is the information that is required to support decisions in a process, that its meaning is unambiguous, and that it is complete
• Information that is right means that the process for creating and maintaining the information is defined and followed so that the information is accurate, and consistent.
• For the right people means that those who need access have it, and equally, those who should not have access do not.
• At the right time means that the information is available when decisions relying on it need to be taken.
