Pages 10-18 | Published online: 03 Mar 2011
 

Abstract

Abstract. As insurance organizations prepare for implementing Solvency II directives, they need to put a stronger focus on data quality and information controls. Most insurance organizations recognize the importance of data quality and have some form of a data quality program in place. However, the primary focus of the current initiatives is on data at rest (e.g. name and addresses in customer relationship management system). While the importance of data at rest is paramount, insurers must address the quality issues when data is in motion (e.g. data is exchanged between systems, people and organizations) to support Solvency II directives. This article outlines an information control and monitoring framework to ensure Solvency II compliance with respect to data quality requirements for both data at rest and data in motion.
