Which of the following is NOT an example of Master Data?

AA categorization of products

BA list of account codes

CPlanned control activities

DA list of country codes

ECurrency codes

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Planned control activities are not considered master data. Here's why:

Master Data Examples:

Categories and Lists: Master data typically includes lists and categorizations that are used repeatedly across multiple business processes and systems.

Examples: Product categories, account codes, country codes, and currency codes, which are relatively stable and broadly used.

Planned Control Activities:

Process-Specific: Planned control activities pertain to specific actions and checks within business processes, often linked to operational or transactional data.

Not Repeated Data: They are not reused or referenced as a stable entity across different systems.

Wait, are they testing our knowledge of accounting terms or just our common sense? Planned control activities, really?

I'm torn between A and B, but I think A is the best answer. Product categorization is definitely master data.

Planned control activities are more related to operational data that changes frequently, unlike Master Data which is more static and reference-like.

I agree with Alfred. Master Data is more about static reference data like A) categorization of products or D) A list of country codes.

Hmm, E seems like the obvious choice. Currency codes are classic master data, used in finance and accounting.

I see your point, but I still think E is the odd one out. Currency codes are definitely considered Master Data.

Option C seems a bit out of place here. Planned control activities? That's more like an internal control, not master data.
