How we write

How we write and review our articles

Who stands behind every article on this site, how each one is checked before it is published, and what to do when you find something wrong.

How an article is made

Every article on this site is drafted with AI tools, then reviewed and fact-checked by the Ressura finance team before it goes live. The team includes accountants who qualified as CPAs, and a person reads every article in full before it is published. Nothing appears here that a person on the team has not read.

The review checks each claim about a standard, a tax rule, a law or a figure against the source it cites, and checks every claim about Ressura against what the App does today. An article that fails a check is corrected or withdrawn before publication.

The sources we cite

FASB Accounting Standards Codification

The basic view of the US accounting standards, free to read, for how revenue, leases and expenses are recorded.

IRS

Forms, instructions and publications for anything an article says about tax and information returns.

AICPA

The guidance it publishes for free on audits, internal controls and the work accountants do.

SEC

Rules and staff guidance on financial reporting and the controls behind it.

PCAOB

The auditing standards an auditor of a public company follows, which show what an auditor tests.

GAO

The Green Book, its standards for internal control, and its reports on improper payments.

COSO

The framework for internal control that most audits and control reviews are built around, in the summaries it publishes free.

IFRS Foundation

The international accounting standards, free to read once you register, for anything an article says outside US rules.

ACFE

Its Report to the Nations, free to download, for how often fraud happens, how it is found and what it costs.

What we hold every article to

An answer first

An article opens with a short paragraph that answers the question it is named for, so you can stop there if that is all you need.

A source for every fact

A claim about a standard, a tax rule, a law or a figure should link to the source it comes from, and the article lists those sources at its foot.

Something to work from

A worked example, a figure, or a standard applied to a real case. When an example uses a company, the company is invented, and the article says so.

No claims we cannot back

When an article says what Ressura does, it describes what the App does today and nothing more.

How we correct mistakes

If you find a mistake, write to contact@ressura.com with the article’s address and what you think is wrong. We check the claim against its source and, when you are right, we correct the article. A correction that changes an answer is made to the article itself, never hidden in a note.
