Accountability:
This role will have crucial impacts on integrity and accuracy of the Bank’s

detect a data error in Data Warehouse could lead to a material inaccuracy or
discrepancy in the reported figures to external regulators and government
agencies.
The role is also critical to successful execution of the Bank’s DG program.
Failure to deliver on these accountabilities could negatively impact the
business and their ability to deliver on stated strategy efficiently, which may
potentially affect the overall financial success of the bank. Therefore, the
selected candidate will need to ensure that the data used for financial
