I was interested to read that some experts have warned that no single vendor offers a complete solution for compliance with all corporate governance rules (Suites keep data within law, 14 June).  This probably is the case.  But what is of greater concern is the focus on nuts and bolts IT compliance - security, document management, reporting and process management.  What if the data itself is wrong?

Surely a key part of compliance must be factually measuring existing data quality and then determining the gap between a company's current data accuracy and 100 percent accuracy.  Only then can you determine how the chasm translates into revenue loss.  And only then can you confidently implement IT compliance solutions.
