Electronic Notebooks Promote Collection of Accurate and Reliable Results

Abstract

Electronic Notebooks favor collecting accurate and reliable results because data integrity is essential in any audit that a company may receive. It is crucial to understand that the data model has four fundamental types of integrity standards: entity integrity, referential integrity, domain integrity, and user-defined integrity. Entity integrity ensures there is no duplicate or null data. Referential integrity stipulates data storage, domain integrity guarantees the accuracy of each piece of data included in a domain, and user-defined integrity indicates the rules and restrictions established by users. Developing this change in data collection will aid in any audit, since auditors are aware that results are final and that there will be an audit trail of any changes made to the results. Companies can save time incorporating this modification, because it will speed up the testing and documentation of the tests. Keywords - Data, Electronic Notebooks, Human Error, Time Reduction.
