Our Commitment to Accuracy
At ceec-haiti.org, we recognize that in the world of finance, even the smallest mistake can lead to significant misunderstanding or financial loss. That’s why we are committed to delivering accurate, verified, and responsible financial content at all times.
This Fact Check Policy outlines how we verify the accuracy of the information we publish and the process we follow when content needs correction.
Why Fact-Checking Matters
As a finance-focused website, we understand that our readers depend on us to:
- Interpret complex financial regulations clearly
- Provide updates on economic policies and aid programs
- Share investment-related tips with honesty and transparency
- Correctly report government benefits, schemes, and tax rules
Every article we publish is an opportunity to educate, not mislead. Therefore, fact-checking is a core value of our editorial process.
Sources We Use for Fact-Checking
Trusted and Verifiable References
Before any article is published, our editorial team gathers information from reliable and authoritative sources such as:
- Official government websites (e.g., Ministry of Finance, Central Bank, Tax Authorities)
- International financial institutions (e.g., IMF, World Bank)
- Press releases and circulars from banks, NGOs, or regulatory agencies
- Industry-standard reports and research papers
- Verified financial data providers and stock exchanges
- Legal and regulatory documents
We always cite or mention our primary sources clearly to maintain transparency.
Our Fact-Checking Process
Our editorial process follows a multi-step verification method to ensure that every piece of financial data or claim is accurate.
Step 1 – Pre-Publication Verification
- Writers are trained to cross-verify claims from at least two credible sources
- Any statistics, schemes, or dates are fact-checked by comparing government portals or official press releases
- Financial product details (loan limits, interest rates, tax rules) are validated from primary source documents
Step 2 – Internal Review by Editors
An independent editor checks every draft for factual consistency
Technical terminology is reviewed for correctness and context
Misleading statements, speculation, or rumors are removed or labeled clearly
Step 3 – Final Check Before Publishing
- URLs of source pages are reviewed to ensure they are live and active
- Any time-sensitive information is time-stamped or labeled as per the publication date
- Screenshots or quoted figures are used with caution and proper attribution
Corrections and Updates
Despite our best efforts, errors may occasionally appear. When they do, we follow a transparent correction policy.
Types of Corrections
- Factual Correction: For incorrect data, financial figures, or policy details
- Typographical Update: For grammar or spelling errors that don’t change the meaning
- Clarification: To add context or correct possible misinterpretation of facts
How We Correct Content
- The corrected version is published with an update note
- A timestamp or annotation is added if the correction changes the original meaning
- For major errors, we may republish the article with a correction notice at the top
Reporting an Error
- Readers are encouraged to help us stay accurate. If you spot a mistake, please write to us at: ceechaiti@gmail.com
Financial Fact Sensitivity
We are aware that financial content can directly affect people’s decisions. Therefore, extra caution is applied in areas like:
- Loan and interest-related content
- Government grants and benefits
- Tax rebates, refunds, or subsidy eligibility
- Crypto or stock investment guidance
We avoid making predictions or guarantees. Whenever opinions are shared, we clearly label them as such and provide a disclaimer.
Misinformation and Rumor Control
To avoid the spread of financial rumors or half-truths, we follow these rules:
- We do not republish unverified viral content from social media
- WhatsApp forwards or unlinked claims are never used as sources
- If content is under review or disputed, it will be marked accordingly
Breaking news related to finance is clearly labeled with source references and “as per available information”
Tools and Technology We Use
To aid in accurate reporting, we use tools such as:
- Reverse image search to verify visuals or graphs
- Google Fact Check Explorer for widely discussed financial claims
- Archive.org to retrieve deleted or edited government pages
- Currency and tax calculators to simulate real-world examples
However, we prioritize human verification over AI-generated content for financial accuracy.
Editorial Integrity
Fact-checking is not just about spotting mistakes—it’s about building trust. That’s why we:
- Employ only qualified writers and editors in the finance domain
- Separate our editorial team from any advertisers or affiliates
- Avoid publishing clickbait headlines with misleading claims
- Always place readers’ trust over virality or ad revenue
Reader Contribution
We value our readers’ insights. If you have:
- More recent updates
- Personal experience with a financial process
- Official links that clarify an issue

Final Note
At ceec-haiti.org, we treat fact-checking as a responsibility—not an optional task. Every article you read is a product of careful review, research, and ethical publishing practices. We are committed to correcting our errors and continuing to grow in transparency, accuracy, and public service.
