Abstract: Abstract This chapter proposes that despite important advances in impact measurement and management practices over recent years, there remains a lack of attention to impact materiality in terms of the validity of data. It suggests that the various levels of impact materiality data risk in impact measurement are under-conceptualized. Poorly specified impact measurement methods ignore the impact materiality role of end-user voice which is both a data risk and may perpetuate structural inequalities through choices over who decides what is measured, how and for what reason. This can have serious consequences for organisational accountability [Relevant SDGs: SDG8: Decent Work and Economic Growth; SDG17: Partnerships for the Goals].
