Editor’s Note: CRE is not in a position to opine on the accuracy of the estimates provided by Royal Dutch Shell to a US regulatory agency. However it should be noted that the Data Quality Act precludes any agency from using data submitted by a third party which is not DQA compliant. Major US firms routinely utilize the services of third-party validators to substantiate the accuracy of their financial information and they should consider doing the same for information submitted to regulatory agencies.
