What is Data Validation?

Data validation checks whether captured information meets specified rules and agrees with its supporting source.

Explanation

In a tax-resolution case, validation can include checking dates, totals, required fields, and whether a proposed form entry matches the underlying record. A flagged mismatch or missing item should go to a person for resolution; passing a check alone does not establish legal or factual correctness.
