Status discipline
Material distinguishes:
- current law;
- pending legislation;
- official guidance;
- market practice;
- Afilcorp methodology;
- illustrative analysis.
A proposed measure is not stated as enacted.
Professional boundaries

- accounting advice;
- audit or assurance;
- valuation;
- investment advice;
- investment research;
- an offer;
- a regulator-approved standard.
Authorship
Organisational authorship may be attributed to Afilcorp Research & Governance.
A named human author is used only with approval and an accurate biography.
Conflicts and commercial links
Material relationships, sponsorships, referral arrangements or conflicts that could reasonably affect a publication should be disclosed.
Corrections
Material factual errors will be corrected.
The page should identify:
- original publication date;
- last reviewed date;
- correction date;
- nature of material correction.
Citations and quotations
Use accurate links and citations.
Do not copy substantial third-party content.
Artificial intelligence
No publication should claim human professional review unless that review occurred.
Any internal technology used to assist production does not reduce Afilcorp’s responsibility for published content, source verification, legal boundaries and correction.
Do not place generic “AI-generated” labels on public research where they are not required. Do not publish unverified generated claims.
Review
Legal, tax and regulatory content should be reviewed according to subject matter, risk and publication importance.
A public document may state its review status accurately.
