Editorial standards

Last reviewed 2026-06-29

This is regulatory and financial information that people act on. We hold it to a high bar. One wrong high-stakes item costs more than a hundred right ones.

Sourcing & citation

• Every item names the issuing authority and links the original publication.
• We summarise primary sources. Where we rely on a secondary report, we say so and seek the primary document.
• We do not publish a regulatory change we cannot source.

Fact vs guidance

• We separate what changed (fact) from what to do (guidance), and keep certainty conservative.
• Scooped is not legal advice. For your situation, read the original and consult a UAE-qualified professional.

Accuracy & corrections

• Items are reviewed before publishing; higher-stakes items get more scrutiny.
• When we get something wrong, we correct it openly and date the change. See corrections.

Independence from sponsorship

• Scooped is free and sponsor-supported. A sponsor may back a sector; sponsorship never buys coverage, placement, or favourable framing.
• Any sponsored unit is clearly labelled Partner and visually separated — never mixed with editorial, never disguised as a story.
• Editorial decisions are made independently of commercial relationships.

Dates & updates

Every item shows when it was published and, where relevant, when it was last updated. Standing guides carry a visible "last updated" date.
