• Testing and Validation Before Import: Pre import checks, sample reviews, and penny rounding decisions should be performed to avoid incorrect live data.
• Data Security and Backup Requirements: Secure backups of relevant tables are essential to support rollback, auditability, and compliance.
• Timelines and Dependencies: Councils must provide Band D data promptly to avoid delays in annual billing cycles and downstream processes.
