Corrections Policy

Last updated: September 2026. This page explains how we handle errors in our published reporting and how to request a correction.

Accuracy matters to us. When we get something wrong, we fix it, we say what changed, and we tell you when.

What we correct

We correct any factual error in a published article, including:

• Misstated facts, figures, dates, titles or quotes
• Misidentified companies, people or jurisdictions
• Misrepresentations of a company’s or person’s position
• Broken or incorrect links to source documents
• Statements of fact that were accurate at publication but have since changed materially

How we make corrections

For anything beyond a typo, spelling or formatting fix:

• The article is updated in place, never quietly rewritten.
• A short note is added at the top or bottom of the article explaining what changed and when.
• The article’s modified date is updated to reflect the change.
• Serious errors, such as misidentifying a person, misstating a regulatory action, or misattributing a quote, get an explicit “Correction” label. Smaller, non-material fixes are labelled “Updated”.

Typos, broken links and formatting are fixed without a note. Anything that changes the meaning of the article is logged. We don’t stealth-edit the substance of a published story.

Retractions

Where an article is fundamentally wrong and can’t be fixed with a correction, we retract it. Retracted articles stay online with a clear retraction notice at the top explaining why, rather than being deleted, so the record stays intact.

How to request a correction

Spotted an error in one of our articles? Email our editorial team with:

• A link to the article
• The specific text or claim you believe is incorrect
• What the correct information is
• A source or document supporting the correction, where you have one

We aim to acknowledge correction requests within one working day and resolve them within five working days. Requests from the subject of the article are given priority.

Editorial independence in corrections

Correction decisions are made by our editorial team alone. Commercial relationships, including advertising and sponsorship, have no bearing on whether or how we correct a story. For more on how we source and review our reporting, see Our Standards and our Editorial Policy.
