Classification and COATs: Best Practices for Squeaky Clean Spend Data
We all think we know what bad data looks like, but what is it and what are the consequences?
I bet you never knew you needed a COAT for your data, but it will help protect you against all the dirty data that's around. Susan will share real-life examples of dirty data, and the consequences it has on the output, such as decision making, reporting, analytics, AI, and machine learning. She'll also share with you her COAT methodology to help prevent this, as well as learn how to make quick, accurate checks and changes to your own data in excel, regardless of your level of experience, and explain why data accuracy and maintenance is so important and implement best practices for this.Takeaways:
- The importance of data accuracy
- The consequences of dirty data
- How to ensure data accuracy
- Make sure your data has its COAT on
- How to spot check your data
