Aggregate Financial Data Editing
All aggregate financial data submissions received at the WCRIBMA are subject to editing to evaluate the reported data for timeliness, accuracy, completeness, and reasonability. Some edits fail as the result of errors in data submission, while others are the result of atypical circumstances. Failed edits generally require the resubmission of corrected data. In some situations, for example atypical data, explanations may be approved.

Edit Notification
Data reporters are made aware of failed edits for a submission via:
-
MAFDRA
MAFDRA has a RunEdits function that produces a failed edit listing and is required prior to submission of call data. Data reporters can correct data errors and create edit notes to explain atypical situation before the call is sent through MAFDRA.
After the initial submission of a call, data reporters are also expected to monitor all submissions with a status of Criticism. Refer to RESPONDING TO A CRITICISM within the MAFDRA User Guide.
-
Email Notice from WCRIBMA (as needed)
Email notifications from WCRIBMA will be sent to data reporters, as needed, for situations that are not handled by MAFDRA.
Edit Explanations
Data reporters may send edit explanations to explain atypical data. All explanations must adequately explain the reason for the edit failure and are subject to WCRIBMA approval process.
Edit Notes can be added to failed edits prior to a call’s initial submission to the WCRIBMA.
Explanations can also be directed to the Data Operation staff member that sent a criticism via email.
Note: aggregate financial edits are subject to fines in accordance with the Data Quality Compliance Programs . |
