What is data accuracy?

< 1 min read

Data accuracy refers to how correct and reliable the data is compared to real-world values. In my work, I checked accuracy by reconciling reports with source systems like CRM and billing data. For example, I verified customer counts and revenue totals before sharing dashboards. Errors usually came from manual entry or transformation logic. The challenge was catching issues early in the pipeline. I used validation rules and sample checks to reduce mistakes. In some cases, I worked with source teams to fix data at entry. This improved confidence in business decisions.
