The characteristics of the credit report of 3. enterprises.

According to different types of enterprise credit reports, the following characteristics can be summarized:

Authority: Government credit reports and financial credit reports are usually highly authoritative because they are prepared by institutions with statutory functions or professional qualifications and have strict regulatory and legal responsibilities. The authority of commercial credit reports depends on factors such as the qualifications, reputation, data sources, and methodology of third-party agencies.

Openness: The openness of self-credit reports is different from that of others, the former is usually voluntarily disclosed by enterprises, and the latter is usually provided according to the needs of the other party. There are also differences in the openness of basic credit reports, which are usually public or easily accessible information, and comprehensive credit reports, which are usually confidential or difficult to obtain. The openness of a special credit report depends on the sensitivity and importance of the special content.

Timeliness: Government credit reports and financial credit reports are usually highly time-sensitive because they are based on real-time or regularly updated data and have a clear expiration date. The timeliness of commercial credit reports and self-credit reports depends on the frequency and timeliness of third-party agencies or enterprises themselves to update data and prepare reports.

Objectivity: Quantitative credit reports are usually highly objective because they are quantified and evaluated based on objective criteria such as numerical indicators and scoring models. Qualitative credit reports and qualitative and quantitative credit reports may be influenced by subjective factors, such as the editor's judgment, preferences, position, etc.
