Data processing system for analysis of financial and non-financial value creation and value realization performance of a business enterprise for provisioning of real-time assurance reports

The invention affords a method of and system for processing data relating to the value creation and value realization performance of a business enterprise in which an assurance report can be provided, for example by third parties, on an outcome display as selected by a stakeholder-user. Certain assurance procedures are automated so that they can be undertaken in real time, in parallel with the generation of the outcome displays on which assurance is being provided. Where appropriate, stakeholder-users are able to specify the level of assurance they require. Assurance reports generated by the system may be customized in order to be relevant to the particular outcome display to which they refer, for example by using the particular choices made by a stakeholder-user in selecting the attributes of a particular outcome display. Certain of the real time automated procedures and the generation of an assurance report in real time may be performed independently, for example, by a third party assurance provider, on a parallel system.
