This policy applies to all editorial content published by Finonity, including news articles, market analysis, opinion pieces, newsletters and any other content produced or commissioned by the Finonity editorial team across all platforms and languages.

The purpose of this policy is to establish a clear, consistent and transparent process for identifying, reviewing and correcting errors in published content — and to affirm Finonity’s obligation to its readers to maintain the highest possible standards of factual accuracy and editorial integrity.

Accuracy is the foundation of trust between Finonity and its readers. Every article we publish is subject to editorial review before publication. Our editorial standards require that all claims of fact be sourced, all data be verified, and all quotations be accurately attributed.

Despite rigorous processes, errors can occur. When they do, we believe correction is not a sign of weakness but a professional obligation. We do not delete or silently alter published content. All substantive corrections are disclosed openly.

We actively encourage readers, sources, subject-matter experts and the general public to report any factual inaccuracy, misleading statement, misquotation or other editorial concern in our published content.

Anonymous reports are accepted and reviewed with the same level of diligence. However, providing contact information allows us to follow up if clarification is needed.

Once an error report is received, the following process is initiated:

1. Acknowledgement. The editorial team confirms receipt of the report within one business day and assigns a reviewer who was not involved in the original publication.
2. Investigation. The reviewer examines the claim against original sources, interviews and data. Where necessary, the original author is consulted. Third-party verification may be sought for complex factual disputes.
3. Editorial decision. The reviewing editor determines whether a correction, clarification, update or no action is warranted. The decision is documented internally.
4. Correction & disclosure. If an error is confirmed, the article is corrected and a visible correction notice is appended to the affected content, stating what was changed and when.
5. Notification. If the reporter provided contact details, they are informed of the outcome and the action taken.

Finonity distinguishes between two categories of correction, each handled with a different level of disclosure:

Minor corrections may be applied without a formal correction notice. Substantive corrections are always accompanied by a visible correction statement appended to the article, including the date of the correction and a description of what was changed.

It is important to distinguish between a correction and an update, as they serve different editorial functions:

Both corrections and updates preserve a record of the original content where editorially appropriate. Finonity does not silently remove or substantially rewrite published content without disclosure.

Finonity aims to handle correction requests with the following timeframes:

1. Acknowledgement of receipt — within one (1) business day of receiving the report.
2. Initial review — within three (3) business days. If the matter requires extended investigation, the reporter will be notified of the expected timeline.
3. Correction published — promptly upon confirmation of a verified error. Time-sensitive or market-impacting corrections are prioritised and may be issued within hours.
4. Final response to reporter — within five (5) business days, informing them of the outcome and any action taken, or an explanation if no correction is deemed necessary.

If a reporter is dissatisfied with the outcome of a correction request, or believes the matter has not been adequately addressed, they may escalate the concern by writing to:

[email protected] — marked “Correction Appeal” in the subject line.

Appeals are reviewed by a senior editor who was not involved in the original decision. Finonity commits to responding to appeals within five (5) business days. The appeal decision is final.

Finonity maintains an internal log of all substantive corrections issued. This log includes the date of the original publication, the date of the correction, a description of the error and the corrective action taken.

Correction notices remain permanently appended to the affected article and are not removed. Where an article has been substantially revised due to multiple errors, Finonity may, at its editorial discretion, add an Editor’s Note explaining the scope and nature of the revisions.

Finonity periodically reviews its correction record as part of its internal editorial quality assurance process, in order to identify systemic issues and improve standards over time.
