With increasing international trade and growing emphasis on security and efficiency, enhanced information and data sharing between different stakeholders in global supply chains is required. Currently data quality is not only problematic for traders, but also for various government agencies involved in border control, such as customs authorities and border force. We adapt principles from value cycle modelling in accounting, and show how these principles enabled by ICT can be extended to supply chain management to ensure quality of data reported to customs. We then describe a typical application scenario based on a real but anonymsed case to show that value cycle monitoring can be applied (feasibility), and if applied, what the expected benefits are (usefulness).
