Abstract
Data and quality data are an ever critical part of our lives today - both personally and corporately - yet it is not a subject that many actuaries focus on. But, every business operation creates or consumes huge quantities of data. Data Quality, the Field Guide, by Thomas C. Redman, Ph.D. provides many practical approaches to establishing or improving the data quality programs in businesses. The book emphasizes that all disciplines and levels in an organization are affected by poor data, including Chief Financial Officers, marketers, those who provide customer service, decision-makers, and customers. The book presents many concepts in an easy to understand fashion along with seventy-one "tips" from the author. The author also provides downloadable copies of the Figures and Tables from the book at http://www.bh.com/companions/1555582516/ that readers can use in their work on data quality. Overall the book is a quick read and presents many concepts in an easy to understand fashion for the practicing actuary.
