By improving data quality with AI, organizations can be equipped to make more informed decisions and reduce the risk of errors or biases in their analyses.
Data governance and structure
Data governance has been on the agenda for many years. Nevertheless, design and implementation of effective data governance structures and meaningful measurement of data quality is a challenge to financial institutions and of major concern to supervisors. KPMG firms have developed a leading data governance framework, including a data quality approach to manage high-quality data across divisions and across the broader data aggregation process. KPMG in India professionals apply this framework to the individual need of organizations and implement data governance and data quality standards by employing an agile roll out-concept, including change management to help ensure effective implementation and a vivid data culture.
Integration of ESG in data universe
Undeniably, ESG ranks top on the agenda of decision-makers of financial institutions across the world. Integration of ESG data into data models and data aggregation processes is thus a major challenge to organizations. Identifying relevant ESG data in-and outside of the organization, integrating ESG data in data aggregation processes to produce meaningful ESG-related KPIs and the application of ESG data to sound data management standards is where KPMG in India professionals can focus and contribute with leading digital solutions.
Regulatory (data) compliance
Compliance with regulatory requirements for data management is back on the agenda of regulators. Data management capabilities are subject to onsite inspections, fire drills and supervisory review and evaluation processes. Financial institutes need to demonstrate that they have interpreted regulatory requirements considering their business and risk profile, and that data management is well established and effectively managed with steering and accountability from the top management.
