I would just like to further comment on 2 things since I cant sleep because of too much coffee:Data integrity is indeed important as the system is our book. We are in modern era where we no longer have to use working sheet, paper, etc. Thus, to be able to reflect true performance of one company, need to ensure we have the right system, software and data management. Data management should include accuracy of data from inputs.SOPs are also important. People come and go and oftentimes training gap are inevitable. Hence for sustainability, SOPs especially for already established processes should be put in place.
