Quality
Professional teams aim to have data meet the highest standards of quality and completeness, using the following mechanisms:

Collecting data in many instances from primary sources, such as stock exchanges, index owners, prospectuses, official lists/statements and financial dailies

Cross-checking data against alternate sources where feasible

Automated validation checks to reduce errors at point-of-entry into the system

Thorough end-of-day checks
