Putting Trust In Your Data

The report, “Putting Trust in Your Data,” offers a data-driven examination of how finance leaders perceive and manage the growing complexities of data and security. Drawing insights from over 5,500 global executives, it highlights widespread uncertainty around data management, ethical usage, and accountability across departments. Despite data’s increasing importance in driving innovation and operational resilience, fewer than 40% of finance leaders express high confidence in their ability to manage it effectively. Alarmingly, many organizations still lack even a basic data management strategy, and key departments often fail to take full responsibility for securing and governing data. The report emphasizes the need for better data governance frameworks, clearer ownership structures, and ethical usage to build trust, protect reputation, and extract meaningful insights. Leaders are urged to view data not just as an operational asset but as a foundation for long-term resilience and competitive advantage.
