There are two main sources of enterprise credit reports, one is the official credit report prepared by government departments or authorized institutions, and the other is the social credit report prepared by social credit service institutions. The data source of the official credit report is mainly the administrative record of the government department, and the data source of the social credit report is mainly the credit information of all parties in the society. The data sources of the two credit reports have their own advantages and disadvantages, but they should comply with relevant laws, regulations and standards to ensure the authenticity and validity of the data. However, at present, there are some non-standard sources of credit reports in the market, such as credit reports that illegally obtain or tamper with data, or credit reports that have not been formally audited and certified, and the credibility and authority of these credit reports are in doubt, which may mislead and cause losses to enterprises.

(2) The contents of the enterprise credit report are incomplete. The content of the enterprise credit report should cover the basic information, business status, financial status, credit record, credit rating and other aspects of the enterprise, in order to fully reflect the credit status of the enterprise. However, at present, there are some incomplete credit reports in the market, such as only containing part of the information of the enterprise, or ignoring the important information of the enterprise, or not updating the latest information of the enterprise, the integrity and timeliness of these credit reports are insufficient, which may bring the problem of information asymmetry and credit distortion to the enterprise.

(3) The quality of corporate credit reports is not high. The quality of corporate credit reports is mainly reflected in the accuracy and consistency of the data, as well as the rationality and scientificity of the analysis. However, there are some low-quality credit reports in the market, such as errors or contradictions in the data, or biased or loopholes in the analysis, the reliability and validity of these credit reports are problematic, which may bring credit assessment and credit decision-making risks to enterprises.

Common Misunderstandings in Credit Reports of 2. Enterprises

(1) The importance of corporate credit reports is underestimated. Some enterprises believe that credit reports are only a form and will not affect the actual operation of enterprises, so they do not pay enough attention to the preparation and use of credit reports, or even ignore or refuse the service of credit reports. This is a wrong understanding, because the credit report is an important proof of enterprise credit, for the enterprise's management, financing guarantee, partner selection and so on have an important impact. If the enterprise does not have a credit report, or the quality of the credit report is not high, it may lead to the enterprise's credit level is not recognized, or is underestimated, thus affecting the enterprise's credit opportunities and credit efficiency.

(2) The use of corporate credit reports is misunderstood. Some enterprises think that credit report is an absolute standard, which can directly determine the credit status of enterprises, so they rely too much on the use of credit report, and even blindly or arbitrarily use the results of credit report. This is a wrong approach, because the credit report is only a reference tool, can not fully represent the credit status of enterprises, need to combine the actual situation of enterprises and credit purposes, comprehensive analysis and judgment of the content and significance of credit reports. If an enterprise relies too much on credit reports, or blindly or arbitrarily uses the results of credit reports, it may lead to errors in credit assessment and credit decision-making, thus affecting the credit risk and credit effectiveness of the enterprise.

(3) The improvement method of enterprise credit report is ignored. Some enterprises think that credit report is a fixed result, which can not or is difficult to change, so they have no positive attitude and action on the improvement of credit report, and even give up or resist the improvement of credit report. This is a wrong attitude, because credit reporting is a dynamic process that can continuously improve and enhance the credit status of enterprises through the credit behavior and credit management of enterprises, so as to improve and enhance the credit report of enterprises. If the enterprise does not have a positive attitude and action, or give up or resist the improvement of credit report, it may lead to the decline of the credit level of the enterprise, or be solidified, thus affecting the credit competitiveness and credit development of the enterprise.
