Why is Data Governance Important ?
The CEO of any organisation needs to able to put hand-on-heart and say 'The data in my company's Reports is 100% accurate'.
Prison is  a very real outcome if it turns out that this statement is not true.
This has helped to focus a tremendous amount of attention on ensuring that all data produced for public or statutory reports 
has been traced at every step in its production, and that its derivation is completely verifiable.
