Title: Another iStock accounting error?
Post by: BaldricksTrousers on October 04, 2012, 02:28

According to StatsPlus, istock has under-reported my ordinary (main and Plus) sales for October 1 by about 20%. The figures for September 30 and October 2 are the same in both data sets.

This is not missing credit-card sales, this is a discrepancy between the data sets for ordinary sales.

How is it even possible that iSTock is running two different sets of sales data?

It's that "new kind of trust".

This may (or may not) be similar to something I posted sometime ago.  I had noticed that earnings reported by microstock analytics were higher than what I saw on IS.  I found that certain sales had been double counted by the analytics tool and the IS figures are probably correct but I'm convinced that there is more than one instance of the same data and the integrity is flawed.
