Internal controls over data collection require index providers and exchanges to ensure fair, unbiased data access and dissemination.

An Index Provider must maintain internal controls over selection of data sources and submitters, data collection processes, and protection of data integrity and confidentiality. Regulated markets and stock exchanges must provide equal, unrestricted, transparent and fair access to data for all Index Providers with data sharing agreements and must disseminate information without bias, ensuring no disparity in timing, format or manner of dissemination.
