What is the source of the data used in Energy-Related Financial Metrics?
The metrics are based on data from Dun & Bradstreet, Inc (D&B). D&B is a well-respected information provider that uses a rigorous data gathering and validation process, including examining public filings and phone surveying. The information must then pass over 2,000 information validations. These checks are then supplemented by mainframe data cleansing processes. The accuracy of the information provided is enhanced by randomly calling companies and reviewing the information compiled on their businesses.
