This evaluation, conducted by Elder Research on behalf of the U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission (EEOC or the Agency) Office of Inspector General (OIG), assessed the
effectiveness of the EEOC’s data stewardship across the Agency. Effective data stewardship is
critical for supporting mission-critical decisions and ensuring that decision-makers rely on
accurate data for enforcement, reporting, and policy decisions that align with Agency objectives.
We focused on these primary objectives:
1. Assess the EEOC’s management and oversight for ensuring data validity and reliability.
2. Assess the efficacy of the EEOC’s efforts to ensure the validity of information entered and
maintained in the Agency Records Center (ARC) and the Enterprise Data Warehouse
(EDW), focusing on the most critical data.
3. Assess how well the EEOC establishes, measures, and tests the validity and reliability of
Agency mission critical data.
4. Assess the efficacy and efficiency of EEOC’s data governance and management efforts.
