Verification and Data Handling Policy

This policy sets out how Otibara verifies the figures in its deliverables and how client information is handled.

Policy clauses

  1. Verification. No figure, factor or source reaches a deliverable without being traced to its origin and verified by the named signatory. Where a value is drawn from an external source, that source is cited. Where a value is derived, the basis of the derivation is stated.
  2. Data handling. Client data is not entered into tools that train on inputs. Named client material is not processed in third-party systems without written consent. Project data is retained only as long as the engagement and any applicable record-keeping obligation require.
  3. Tools. Otibara uses a range of professional software, including analytical, modelling and document tools, selected for the task. The tools used do not alter the verification and accountability commitments set out in this policy.
  4. Accountability. Responsibility for all content rests with the signatory, regardless of how any part of the work was produced. The signatory is available to respond to queries on the figures from the client's auditor, lender, certifier or regulator.

Version 1.0, October 2026.
This policy is reviewed annually.
