Abstract

Provided are systems and methods for determining a materiality threshold of a local data value for a group data value. In one example, a method includes receiving a group data file and a local data file, identifying a local data value from the local data file and a corresponding confidential group data value from the group data file, determining whether an error or an omission in combining the local data value with the confidential group data value impacts a materiality threshold of the confidential group data value, and generating and displaying a materiality indicator that visually indicates whether the local data value is going to impact a materiality threshold of the confidential group data value. According to various aspects, a user can quickly identify whether a coding process is doing to affect a materiality of a data value from a larger group.
