What is the source of your data and how is it different from other datasets?

IndustriusCFO’s dataset is garnered from various reputable sources, including credit reporting bureaus, financial and government institutions. It is comprised of over one million financial statements in a given year of mostly privately-held companies. Developed while working with large datasets of financial information at the University of Wisconsin, IndustriusCFO has refined unique and powerful data management approaches that include a meticulous data cleaning procedure to ensure that the data meets necessary statistical research assumptions such as normality of distribution and temporal stability, all resulting in the largest and most accurate database of its kind.
