Purpose:

The purpose of SayPro Reporting Data Quality Findings is to share critical data quality assessment results with internal stakeholders, ensuring that all relevant parties within SayPro are informed and aligned on data issues.

• Leadership: Senior leadership requires regular updates on data quality to make informed decisions and allocate resources effectively.

Findings must be shared in a manner that is clear, actionable, and structured. This ensures that stakeholders can prioritize improvements, address issues, and integrate corrective actions into their workflows.
