Illustrative Controls and the TIBCO LogLogic Solution
Organizations must ensure that appropriate controls are in place to safeguard and preserve the integrity of electronic data. Maintaining data integrity provides assurances for the validity and accuracy of data and is a key component for financial reporting.
To satisfy this objective, administrators must ensure that controls are in place to detect and report on unauthorized (both accidental and malicious) data modifications. These controls should be applied on all relevant financial reporting systems. Additionally, strong change management controls and procedures help reduce the risk of data integrity violations caused by unauthorized or uncontrolled changes to system configurations.
