Corrections Policy

Financial Sumo is committed to correcting verified factual errors and improving published content when new information becomes available.

What counts as a correction

A correction applies when a page contains a material factual error. That can include an incorrect name, a wrong date, a mistaken number, a misattributed quote, an inaccurate description of a product feature, a broken or misleading source reference or any other issue that changes the factual meaning of the page.

What counts as a clarification

A clarification is used when the original wording was not necessarily false but may have been incomplete, potentially confusing or lacking enough context. Clarifications improve understanding without changing the core fact pattern of the piece.

What counts as an update

An update reflects new information after publication. That may include changed pricing, a product revision, a policy development, an additional statement from a company or regulator, new market data or the normal evolution of an ongoing finance story.

Minor edits

Grammar, spelling, formatting, link maintenance and readability edits may be made without a correction note when they do not alter the factual meaning of the page.

How readers can report an error

Readers can report an issue by emailing scholarship@financialsumo.com. To help the editorial team review the message efficiently, include the article URL, a description of the issue, any relevant evidence or supporting source and contact information if follow-up may be needed.

How we review reports

Serious reports are reviewed by the editorial team. We examine the source chain, compare the published wording with the available evidence and determine whether a correction, clarification or update is required. While we review substantial editorial messages carefully, we may not be able to respond individually to every message received.

Correction notes

Significant factual corrections may be noted on the page. Update dates may also change where appropriate. Correction language should be clear, direct and not defensive.

Editorial independence

Requests from advertisers, sponsors, partners or covered companies do not automatically result in changes to editorial content. A page is updated only when the factual basis for a change is established.
