Critical Data Elements are Business Terms that are critical for a specific business process. These terms and their values are vital and significant for specific processes, for example, Regulatory Reporting or Management Reporting.
These data elements are marked critical as per their context, justification, level of criticality, and approval for the classification. They are ensured to have additional rigor in their data quality checks, controls, and so on and have sufficient metrics around it to ensure timeliness and accuracy of the values.

These elements are monitored for accuracy and consistency of data within the Key Indicator and Control Section.
