A Number Without a Methodology Is Not Information

#business #croatia

A financial indicator published without a clear explanation of how it was calculated is worth less than it appears at first glance.

Publishing a key indicator without an accompanying explanation of data sources and calculation method leaves room for differing interpretations and, ultimately, reduces the credibility of the figure itself, however accurate it may be.

When every key indicator is accompanied by a short explanation of its data source and calculation method, the reader can judge the information's reliability instead of taking it on faith.
