1 Journal of Modern Accounting and Auditing, ISSN February 2012, Vol. 8, No. 2, D DAVID PUBLISHING A Framework for Identifying and Managing Information Quality Metrics of Corporate Performance Management System Kunlaya Pattanagul Khon Kaen University, Thailand Wachara Chantatub Chulalongkorn University, Thailand Wasu Chaopanon Khon Kaen University, Thailand Corporate Performance Management (CPM) system is an information system used to collect, analyze, and visualize key performance indicators (KPIs) to support both business operations and especially strategic decisions. CPM systems display KPIs in forms of scorecard and dashboard so the executives can keep track and evaluate corporate performance. The quality of the information as shown in the KPIs is very crucial for the executives to make the right decisions. Therefore, it is important that the executives must be able to retrieve not only the KPIs but also the quality of those KPIs before using such KPIs in their strategic decisions. The objectives of this study were to determine the role of the CPM system in the organizations, current data and information quality state, problems and perspectives regarding data quality, as well as data quality maturity stage of the organizations. Survey research was used in this study; a questionnaire was sent to collect data from 477 corporations listed in the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) on January, Forty-nine questionnaires were returned. The results show that about half of the organizations have implemented CPM systems. Most organizations are confident in the information in CPM system, but information quality issues are commonly found. Frequent problems regarding information quality are information not up to date, information not ready by time of use, inaccuracy and incomplete. The most concerned and frequently assessed quality dimensions were security, accuracy, completeness, and validity. When asked to prioritize, the most important quality dimensions are accuracy, timeliness, completeness, security, and validity respectively. In addition, most organizations concern about data governance management and have deployed such measures. This study showed that most organizations are on level 4 on Gartner s data governance maturity stage in which data governance is concerned and managed, but still not effective. Keywords: data quality, corporate performance management (CPM) system, data quality metrics, key performance indicators (KPIs), data maturity and management Introduction Modern organization management requires data and information for strategic planning and target assignment. Not only key performance indicators (KPIs) are used to measure and monitor organizations performance, they are also required in benchmarking against targets. In addition, KPIs represent competency of the organization, thus they are important for the executives in strategic and operational planning. Since data and information are valuable assets, it is important that organizations pay attention in data Kunlaya Pattanagul, Ph.D. student, Information Studies Program, Faculty of Humanities and Social Science, Khon Kaen University.

2 186 IDENTIFYING AND MANAGING INFORMATION QUALITY METRICS management. Data management consists of 10 steps including: (1) data governance; (2) data architecture management; (3) data development; (4) data operations management; (5) data security management; (6) reference and master data management; (7) data warehousing and business intelligence management; (8) document and content management; (9) meta-data management; and (10) data quality management (Mosley, Brackett, Earley, & Henderson, 2009). Because of data and information overload, organizations require effective data management in order to increase competitiveness and excellence. Business intelligence (BI) enables organizations to collect and analyze data which is then turned into useful information used for making decision (Golfarelli, Rizzi, & Cella, 2004). Information system is an essential tool to collect, analyze and present important information for organization management in both strategic and operational levels. Data and information from an information system can be used for management, increase effectiveness as well as retain customers. Corporate Performance Management (CPM) system is part of the emerging BI trends which increases value and performance of the organization (Watson & Wixom, 2007). CPM is an information system used to monitor the corporate performance and present KPIs to top-level executives in order to aid strategic and operation decisions (Bose, 2006). To monitor corporate performance, the organizations need to identify effective KPIs which not only conform and reflect current performance, but also be able to benchmark against corporate goals. CPM system, therefore, is an important tool for corporate executives. KPIs presented in the CPM system are processed from data collected within and outside organization. Data quality, therefore, is an important factor to be emphasized. One key problem of the CPM system is data quality issue. Lack of data quality leads directly to insufficient information quality and may lead to wrong decision (Becker, Pöppelbuß, Glörfeld, & Bruhns, 2009). In addition, poor data results in negative consequences on the operational, tactical, and strategic organizational levels (Hassan, 2003). Data quality dimensions can be both objective and subjective, and can have different definition depends on perspective and usage (Shankaranarayanan & Cai, 2006). For example, data quality means completeness, accuracy, consistency and timeliness of data (Scarisbrick-Hauser & Rouse, 2007). In addition, data quality may depend on type and nature of data. Data quality dimension can be divided into four groups including quality dimensions describing the quality of management of the data such as accessibility, ease of maintenance and reliability; quality dimension describing the quality of the representation of the data such as conformance to schema, appropriate presentation and clarity; intrinsic data quality dimensions such as accuracy, uniqueness and consistency; and relative data quality dimensions such as user preferences, criticality and data source reputation. Nevertheless, four data quality dimensions have been described and commonly used, including accuracy, completeness, timeliness, and consistency (Xu, Nord, Brown, & Nord, 2002; Berti-Èquille, 2007; Batini, Cappiello, Francalanci, & Maurino, 2009). To achieve higher data quality, appropriate data governance must be implemented such as data profiling, data standardization, monitor and error correction, and error prevention (Solomon, 2005). In addition, organization must assign team or unit responsible for data quality. These components take part in improving data quality within the organization. It is, therefore, important to determine the role of the CPM system in the organizations, current data and information quality state, problems and perspectives regarding data quality as well as data quality maturity state of the organization. These results reflect current data management state and increase awareness regarding data quality issue within organizations.
3 IDENTIFYING AND MANAGING INFORMATION QUALITY METRICS 187 Objectives The objective of this research was to evaluate the quality of data and information in the organizations. The perspective towards data quality in the context of the CPM system, data quality assessment and data quality maturity were also determined. Research Methodology Survey research was used in this research. The questionnaire was used for data collection. The questionnaire consists of three parts including: (1) general characteristics of the interviewees and their organization; (2) perspective towards data quality; and (3) data quality maturity stage of the organization. The questionnaire was sent to collect data from 477 corporations listed in the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) on January, Forty-nine questionnaires were returned. The organizations were categorized into eight groups including agriculture and food industry, natural resources, technology, financial, services, industrial goods, consumer goods, and real estate. Data collected from questionnaire was analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency and percentage. Results The results of this study are divided into three parts including: (1) general characteristics of respondents and their organizations; (2) perspective towards data and information quality of the organization; and (3) data governance maturity level. General Characteristics of Respondents and Their Organizations Respondents. A total of 49 questionnaires were returned. As shown in Table 1, 15 (32.65%) respondents are C-level executives such as chief executive officer (CEO), chief finance officer (CFO), chief marketing officer (CMO), chief operating officer (COO), and chief information officer (CIO), 11 (22.45%) respondents are IT manager, and nine (18.37%) respondents works in quality assurance department. The average work experience at their current positions was 7.4 years, while the average of their total work experience was years. Table 1 Current Position of the Respondents Positions No. of respondents Percentage (%) CEO CFO, CMO, COO, and CIO Quality assurance manager IT manager Managers in other departments Others Total Organizations. Major respondents include 14 (28.57%) organizations in the industrial goods, 11 (22.45%) organizations in the financial businesses, and eight (16.33%) organizations in the real estate. Seventeen (34.69%) organizations have more than 1,000 employees, 16 (32.65%) organizations have employees and 15 (30.61%) have 501-1,000 employees.
4 188 IDENTIFYING AND MANAGING INFORMATION QUALITY METRICS Perspective Towards Data and Information Quality of the Organizations Out of 49 respondents, 45 (91.84%) respondents work in the position which requires data and information for management and decision support. Out of these respondents, 34 (75.56%) respondents have experienced data quality issues. In addition, 35 (71.43%) organizations have internal unit(s) responsible for data and information quality management such as data owner, IT department, information development division, planning department, database unit, information system department, IT and database committee, quality assurance department, and internal audit. As described previously, CPM is the information system used to display KPIs for the executives in order to monitor the performance of the organization. From 49 organizations responded, 27 (55.10%) organizations have implemented CPM for average of 4.52 years. Most of the CPMs used in these organizations (14 organizations, 51.85%) are vendor software such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system from Systems, Applications, and Products in Data Processing (SAP), Business Connector (BC), Industrial and Financial Systems (IFS) and Coach, 10 (37.04%) organizations developed their own CPM using Java, Structured Query Language (SQL), Mypis, Excel, and VB, and three (11.11%) organizations have used a combination of proprietary commercial software and in-house development using J. D. Edwards, Report Program Generator (RPG), Activity-Based Costing/Activity-Based Management (ABC/ABM) (Oros system), SAP, Documentum, Mainstream Accounting System (MAS), Employee Self Service (ESS), SAP and Office Automation (OA) service. Out of 27 organizations which have CPM implemented, 23 (85.19%) organizations use CPM in financial/accounting, 19 (70.37%) organizations use CPM in marketing, sales and customer services, and 17 (62.96%) organizations use CPM in operation and personnel, as shown in Table 2. Overall, 19 (70.37%) organizations strongly agreed with the importance of CPM, while eight (29.63%) agreed with the importance of CPM. Table 2 Job Functions in Which CPM Is Implemented Job functions No. of respondents Percentage (%) Financial/accounting Marketing Sales Customer service Products Operation Personnel IT Others Out of the organizations which CPM system was implemented, 17 (62.96%) respondents have accessed the system by themselves. When asked about the confidentiality of the data in CPM, 18 (66.67%) respondents feel confident for data in CPM system, seven (25.93%) respondents feel neither confident nor unconfident for data in CPM system, and two (7.41%) respondents feel strongly confident for data in CPM system, as shown in Table 3. Concerning the question what to do when the respondents feel unconfident with data in CPM, 24 (88.89%) respondents assign the owner or responsible unit of the KPIs to recheck the data, 19 (70.37%) respondents use unconfident data with more carefulness, five (18.52%) respondents reject the unconfident

Table 3 Level of Confidence of the Data in CPM Level of confidence No. of respondents Percentage (%) Strongly confident Confident Neither confident nor unconfident Unconfident Strongly unconfident Total Table 4 What to Do When the Respondents Are Not Confident With Data in CPM Methods No. of respondents Percentage (%) Use unconfident data with more carefulness Assign the owner or responsible unit of the KPIs to recheck the data Reject the unconfident data or KPIs Others For perspective towards data and information quality management in the organizations, most respondents strongly agree with: (1) information quality is important for organization management (28 respondents, 57.14%); (2) better quality information improves competitiveness and value of the organization (23 respondents, 46.94%); (3) centralized and standardized data for the whole organization increased effectiveness of the organization (26 respondents, 53.04%); and (4) information is a valuable asset of the organization, thus information quality management must be prioritized (33 respondents, 67.35%), as shown in Table 5. Table 5 Perspective Towards Data and Information Quality Management in the Organizations Issues (1) Information quality is important for organization management (2) Better information quality improves competitiveness and value of the organization (3) Centralized and standardized data increases effectiveness of organization management (4) Information is a valuable asset, it is, therefore, important to implement data and information quality management 5 (strongly agree) 4 (agree) Levels 3 (neither agree nor disagree) 2 (disagree) 1 (strongly disagree) 28 (57.14%) 19 (38.78%) 2 (4.08%) 0 (0.00%) 0 (0.00%) 23 (46.94%) 21 (42.86%) 5 (10.20%) 0 (0.00%) 0 (0.00%) 26 (53.06%) 20 (40.82%) 3 (6.12%) 0 (0.00%) 0 (0.00%) 33 (67.35%) 14 (28.57%) 2 (4.08%) 0 (0.00%) 0 (0.00%) Analysis of information quality problem in the CPM system showed that most organizations have experienced information quality issues. The most frequent problem is that the information is not up to date (46 respondents, 93.88%). Next issue is that the information is not correct because of error in information processing (43 respondents, 87.76%) as well as the information is not ready on time of request (43 respondents, 87.76%).
6 190 IDENTIFYING AND MANAGING INFORMATION QUALITY METRICS Incomplete information is also another major problem (42 respondents, 85.71%), as shown in Table 6.

(3) What most organizations reported somewhat likely are information is doubtful because the source is unrespectable, information is not ready on time of request, and information is irrelevant or not relate to tasks. (4) What most organizations reported likely is information is incomplete because of incomplete data. When asked about the source of information quality problem, 42 (85.71%) respondents answered that the source of information quality problem comes from data input error (staff error), 27 (55.10%) respondents answered that the source comes from data input error (customer error) and 26 (53.06%) respondents answered that the error comes from data transformation from the old system to the new system (see Table 8).

Table 9 Benefits of Having Quality Information Benefits No. of respondents Percentage (%) Increase confidence in making decision One truth throughout the organization Increase profit Reduce cost Increase customer satisfaction Others While most respondents (more than 90%) agreed with the importance of information quality dimensions, only some respondents reported that they have assessment method for those dimensions. The quality dimensions most assessed are security (47 respondents, 95.92%), accuracy (44 respondents, 89.80%), completeness (44 respondents, 89.80%) and validity (43 respondents, 87.76%) (see Table 10). When asked to rank the importance of information quality dimension, the highest ranked dimension is accuracy, timeliness, completeness, security and validity, respectively (see Table 11).

It also tells what actions to take to reach the next level. The respondents were asked about information management of the organization and the level of maturity was identified according to Gartner s model.
9 IDENTIFYING AND MANAGING INFORMATION QUALITY METRICS 193 The results showed that most organizations (16 respondents, 32.65%) are level 4, 15 respondents (30.61%) are level 3, eight respondents (16.33%) are level 2, and eight respondents (16.33%) are level 5 (see Table 12). Table 12 Data Governance Maturity Level Maturity Level Number Percentage (%) Level 0: Unaware Level 1: Aware Level 2: Reactive Level 3: Proactive Level 4: Managed Level 5: Effective Discussion and Conclusions Corporate performance management system is an essential tool to support both strategic decision making and business operation in today organizations. We find that most organizations have deployed CPM system to many areas including financial, marketing, sale and customer service. Both vender and corporate-developed systems have been implemented in order to collect, analyze, and display KPIs used by C-level executives. Since information is a key component, quality of information in CPM system needs to be emphasized. The organizations viewed information as a valuable asset which is important for business management, increase competitiveness and value of the organization. In addition, the organizations agree that good information quality increases confidence in decision making, reduces cost, and improves customer satisfaction. The results agree with Elbashir, Collier, and Davern (2008) who reported that using business intelligence system for organizational performance management can increase organizational benefits, business supplier/partner relation benefits, internal processes efficiency benefits as well as customer intelligence benefits. Additional benefits are risk reduction for the company, higher staff satisfaction, and better rating for the company (Becket et al., 2009). When we asked about the confidence in the information in the system, responses are mostly positive. Furthermore, when the executive is not confidence in the information, it must be reevaluated and improved by owner or responsible unit before using for decision. While most organizations value the importance of information quality, the problem still persists. Our result agreed with Wand and Wang (1996) who reported that more than 60% of 500 medium-size corporations had problems with data quality. Time-related issues such as information is not up to date and information is not ready to be used by time of request as well as management issues such as inaccurate information due to error in information processing and incomplete information are common problems found in CPM system. These problems were also reported previously in which accuracy was rated the most frequent problem, followed by completeness, consistency and timeliness, respectively (Becker et al., 2009). Although the level of these problems is relatively small, it may affect judgment and lead to wrong decision. In addition, lack of data quality verification may lead to lack of cooperation within and between organizations. Organization may not request data from other organization if it does not trust the data. Within organization, if the data is exchanged without knowing their actual quality, it may happen that data of low quality spread all over the enterprise (Mecella et al., 2002). The main sources of information quality problem come from human error such as input error by staff and incorrect data provided by customer as well as system error such as data transformation from the old
10 194 IDENTIFYING AND MANAGING INFORMATION QUALITY METRICS system to the new system. In addition, most organizations have assessment measure for common information quality dimensions such as security, accuracy, completeness and validity. When we asked the organization to prioritized information quality dimensions, the most emphasized dimensions are accuracy, timeliness, completeness, security and validity, respectively. Our findings are consistent with previous reports in which information quality usually refers to accuracy, timeliness, completeness, consistency and validity (Xu et al., 2002; Piprani & Ernst, 2008; Becker et al., 2009). We also find that security is additional quality dimension in which its importance is addressed in this study. Nevertheless, the description for these dimensions is largely controversial and the assessment metrics need to be further clarified. In conclusion, while most organizations concern about information quality and data governance management, some of them are not taking the issue seriously. This could be largely due to complexity of the organization, system and operation, technical readiness as well as lack of knowledge. Most of the organizations in this study are classified as level 4 on Gartner s data governance maturity model in which is described by understanding that information is critical, policies and standards are developed and understand throughout the enterprise, governance unit is in place to resolve issues related to cross-functional information management and valuation of information assets and productivity metrics are developed.
