What is initial data?

What is initial data?

• A. Ticket transactions that have not been processed or settled in IAR. These ticket transactions are in an ARC accredited agency's IAR sales report before submission.
• B. Ticket transactions that have been processed and settled in IAR.
• C. Ticket transactions that have been canceled.
• D. Ticket transactions that have been printed.

Answer: (A)

Initial data means ticket transactions that have not yet been processed or settled in IAR. In ARC’s IAR workflow, agencies record sales in their IAR sales report as raw entries before they are submitted and go through processing. This state is before any processing or settlement has occurred, which is what clearly distinguishes it from data that has been processed and settled, canceled, or merely printed. So the description of initial data as unprocessed, unsettled transactions in the IAR sales report before submission best fits.
