Report a correction

What we correct

• Wrong numbersAn amount, a year or a total that does not match the government record it came from.
• Records combined wronglyTwo separate agreements counted as one, or one agreement counted twice.
• Wrong groupingA recipient, program, city or riding matched to the wrong name, or two recipients merged that are not the same organization.
• Broken source linksA link to a government record that no longer opens or points to the wrong record.

How we handle a report

1. We read every report and look up the record in the government dataset.
2. If our site differs from the source, we fix it and add an entry to the corrections log below.
3. If the government record itself is wrong, we say so in the log, link the record, and keep showing the figure as the government published it.
4. If the site matches the source, nothing changes. If you left an email address we may write back to explain.

We check new reports at least once a month, when the data is refreshed. We do not remove accurate government data on request.
