Data Governance and Quality Management

Reports are only as trustworthy as the data feeding them, and most organisations run on numbers no one fully owns. Who should be accountable for data, how to define and measure quality, and how governance connects to obligations under the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 all get practical attention.
