Terms of Use

These terms explain how you may use the reporting and material published on this site.

Using this site

You may read, share links to, and quote from our reporting for non-commercial and editorial purposes, provided you credit Bakau Review. You may not present our reporting as your own or alter its substance while retaining our name.

Editorial content

Reports on this site reflect our review of the documents cited within them at the time of publication. Where a report is later corrected, the correction is noted on the article itself along with the date of the change.

Composite and illustrative material

As described on our about page, the cases, companies and named individuals in our investigations are composite and illustrative, constructed to demonstrate patterns in how public records can diverge rather than to report on specific real events, and any resemblance to a real case is coincidental.

Images and attribution

Hero images accompanying our reports are illustrative rather than photographs of the specific matters described, and each is captioned with its subject and photographer credit. Use of any image beyond viewing it on this site should follow the licence terms noted in its caption.

No professional advice

The material on this site is general information about public spending records and how to read them. It is not a substitute for guidance from a qualified professional, and you should seek that guidance directly before relying on anything here for a specific decision.

External links

Where we link to a document, registry or third-party site, we do so because it supports a specific claim in a report at the time of publication. We are not responsible for the content of external sites, which may change after we link to them.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The version in force at any given time is the one published on this page, and continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms.
