NGA's Data Innovation: Reducing False Positives, Driving Efficiency, and Cutting Costs

Data is the backbone of effective compliance and risk management. However, when that data is poor quality or incomplete, it can trigger a cascade of problems, particularly by increasing the rate of false positives. These unnecessary alerts not only waste analysts’ time but also drain organizational resources, as each one must be meticulously investigated to ensure compliance with regulations.

The Hidden Costs of Poor Data Quality

Poor data quality is a significant issue in compliance processes. Incomplete or inaccurate information often leads to false positives, where systems flag risks that aren’t there. This forces analysts to spend valuable time on unnecessary investigations, leading to increased operational costs. Over time, these inefficiencies can severely impact an organization’s bottom line.

The Role of Accurate Data in Reducing False Positives

Accurate, complete data is essential to minimize false positives and streamline compliance efforts. When data is reliable, systems can more effectively differentiate between legitimate risks and non-issues. This reduces the number of unnecessary alerts, allowing analysts to focus on genuine threats.
