——— ERRORS & JUDGEMENTS

Errors happen. Judgements differ.

Everything on Wide GAAP is written with care, checked against the source and corrected openly. If something is wrong, out of date or simply arguable, this is the place to say so.

Whether it is an article in Unaddressed!, a risk in the catalogue, a figure in a template or a step in a trainer, every submission is read and taken seriously.

AN ERROR

Something is wrong

A misquoted paragraph, a figure that does not reconcile, a formula that breaks, a standard that has since been amended, a broken link or a download that will not open.

A DIFFERENCE OF JUDGEMENT

You see it differently

Principles-based standards leave room for judgement. If you would reach a different conclusion on the same facts, make the case. Reasoned disagreement is welcome, and it often improves the work.

——— 1 · OUR APPROACH

Mistakes are found. Then they are fixed.

Standards are amended, guidance is reissued and effective dates arrive. Even careful work contains the occasional slip, and some questions have more than one defensible answer. What matters is how quickly an issue is found, and how openly it is put right.

Received

Your submission is logged against the page, tool or template concerned.

Reviewed

The point is checked against the standard, the source material and the reasoning.

Resolved

Errors are corrected promptly. Differences of judgement are answered and, where persuasive, adopted.

Recorded

Material corrections and clarifications are noted, so readers can see what changed.

——— 2 · YOUR SUBMISSION

Choose whether you are reporting an error or a difference of judgement, then give as much detail as you can. The more specific the submission, the faster it can be checked.
