    • Potential Issues
      • Validation
        • Error trapping is only as good as the software design to track the errors
        • Validation only makes sure the data is reasonable, not that is correct
      • Verification
        • Both double-entry and proof reading are time consuming and expensive
        • Verification  only makes sure that the data entered matches that in the input form, not that it is correct
        • Human error is still possible
