Public information issued by the Office is provided for official reference and public accountability. Official documents should be read in full and in the relevant legal, financial or administrative context. A summary does not replace the authoritative document.
Official documents must not be altered, stripped of provenance information or presented in modified form as authentic publications of the Office. References may be shared provided that the Office and the authoritative source are represented accurately.
Where a document is held by another public institution, that institution remains responsible for the availability, security and integrity of its own record.
