What is Data Provenance?

Data provenance describes the source and preparation history of a piece of data.

Explanation

When preparing IRS collection forms, identifying the client document behind a proposed balance or expense helps a reviewer trace the value back to its source. Provenance supports review, but the reviewer must still assess whether the document and interpretation are appropriate for the case.
