What is the Strategic Data Acquisition Strategy course about?

Data flows are expanding faster than governance models. Compliance officers are expected to validate reporting accuracy while working with systems they don’t control and datasets they didn’t design. This creates friction during audits, inefficiencies in monitoring, and missed opportunities to influence data architecture upstream.
