Procedures
To ensure the reliability, consistency, timeliness, accessibility and
comprehensiveness of management information, appropriate quality control
measures shall be implemented. Examples of quality control measures are
the analysis of data to identify any missing or irregular data entries,
statistical summaries, and checking for data that are inconsistent with
other similar data.
For the independent assurance that information systems produce accurate
management information, appropriate quality assurance and audit procedures
shall be implemented. Quality assurance and audits use the information
from quality control to analyse how and where anomalies in information
arise and help to define the actions to resolve any issues.
For the secure storage, back-up, transmission and disposal of management
information in line with all legal and regulatory requirements and
guidance, including data protection requirements and guidance, an
appropriate backup and recovery strategy shall be adopted and implemented.
The backup strategy must include regular backups and storage at a suitable
off-site storage location. This will facilitate retrieval of data
following minor operational failures as well as total and complete
disasters. The backup and recovery of IT systems shall be monitored and
tested to ensure that when they are required as a result of a major
incident, they will operate as needed. Monitoring and testing procedures
and protocols shall be defined in the Credit Union Business Continuity
Plan. As well as electronic data, all other important information and
documents shall be stored off-site. Retention durations of backups and non-
electronic information shall be based upon any legal and regulatory
requirements. Appropriate measures shall be put in place to dispose of
information, either electronic or non-electronic, after defined retention
periods have lapsed.
To ensure compliance with legislative and regulatory requirements including
data protection legislation, the Credit Union as a data controller shall
ensure that in respect of personal data kept on file, that it complies with
the Data Protection Act to the extent that the data is obtained and
processed fairly, that it is accurate and up to date, only used and kept
for lawful purposes, is not used or disclosed in any manner incompatible
with lawful purposes, and that it is not kept for longer than is necessary.

Error Logging and control
There shall be systems and procedures in place to identify any errors in
management information. Errors shall be logged and appropriate corrective
actions designed and implemented. Where appropriate, procedures shall be
updated accordingly to ensure that errors do not re-occur.

Policy Review
This policy is formally reviewed on an annual basis.
