Data audit: Findings of the audit

' ... The allocation screen ... that screen were invariably filled in wrong. So we had Keith up here last week and sat there and we tried to thrash out an easier to follow screen. And I've just put together the proposals for it, the initial timescales and estimates ...

There's other aspects of the system, all in all we decided, we relaxed the integrity checking and a lot of the validation. Things like if a broker comes in and an underwriter's in the middle of keying they want to be able to save it and then go back to it later. Seems that in a lot of cases it was saved and not going back to it later. So now, I think it's been decided that we want to make it more rigid, go back to how it was, a lot more validation, make it a lot more rigid and if they don't get the time to save it, correctly, well then, tough. They've got to go in and rekey it, later ...

It is a valuable exercise. We couldn't do it alone because we didn't have access to the underwriter's files. We wouldn't have known what to do with them any way. ... A lot of it is very complex. Quite often parts of the files were missing. ... '
