There is a growing recognition of the need for integrity in the information. Trust is eroded where users struggle to separate truth from fiction. Challenges can be systemic (such as bridging the expectation gap between what audits do and what users expect it to do) or specific (such as determining whether someone is telling the truth). More efficient and effective solutions for these challenges will make for a better working world.
