Validate key data fields including legal names, trade licenses, VAT details, bank details, payment terms, contact information, customer account classifications, supplier categories, and related compliance documentation.
Perform duplicate checks, inactive account reviews, data cleansing, and exception analysis to improve customer and supplier master data quality across systems. Use system reports, Excel, and basic SQL queries where available to extract, validate, reconcile, and analyze master data records and identify gaps, inconsistencies, or unauthorized changes. Maintain a structured archive of master data requests, approvals, supporting documents, change logs, and audit trails for audit and management review.
Monitor master data workflows, follow up on pending approvals, and ensure requests are completed within agreed turnaround times. Generate data extracts, exception reports, quality checks, and periodic validation reports to monitor data completeness, duplication, consistency, and compliance gaps. Coordinate with Finance, Procurement, Sales, Operations, IT, system owners, and relevant data owners to resolve incomplete, incorrect, or inconsistent master data.
Ensure compliance with company policies, internal controls, data governance standards, segregation of duties, delegation of authority, and audit requirements. Contribute to process improvements, standardization, automation initiatives, and stronger master data governance across customer and vendor data processes.
