Editorial Team

All articles on Cifra Ajuda are signed by the Cifra Ajuda Team. This page explains who is behind the site, how articles are researched and written, which sources we use and how we correct mistakes.

Who we are

Cifra Ajuda is an educational website about finance and economics, maintained by Cifra ADS. The Cifra Ajuda Team is the site’s editorial team: it handles topic selection, research, writing and updates for our articles on the financial market, banking, foreign trade, economic policy and business. We sign as a team because every article goes through more than one stage of work before it is published.

Our mission

To explain how money, markets and the economy work in plain language, so readers can follow economic news, understand financial products and make better-informed decisions.

How articles are produced

Topic selection: we start from questions readers actually have and avoid repeating subjects the site already covers.
Research: rules, rates, figures and dates are checked against primary sources before they go into the text.
Writing: articles explain the subject step by step, with context and examples. We use digital tools, including artificial intelligence, to support research and drafting; no information should be published without being checked against a source.
Review: before publication we review numbers, regulations and dates. When a figure changes often (interest rates, exchange rates, inflation), the article should state the reference date and where to check the current value. Information that cannot be confirmed is left out.

Sources we use

Central banks and regulators, such as the Banco Central do Brasil, the U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank and securities regulators (CVM, SEC).
International organizations, such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the World Trade Organization and the OECD.
Official statistics and government portals, such as IBGE, the Brazilian Federal Revenue and foreign trade data, and national statistics offices.
Company filings and official websites, to confirm how a product, a fee or a procedure works. Mentioning a company is not a recommendation.

Reviews and updates

Articles are reviewed periodically and whenever a relevant rule or figure changes. When an article is updated, its date is updated as well.

Corrections

Found something wrong or outdated? Write to us through the Contact page with the link to the article and the passage in question. We review every report and, when an error is confirmed, we correct the text.

Editorial independence

The site is supported by advertising. Ads are displayed separately from the text, and advertisers do not choose topics, review articles or influence conclusions.
We are not paid by banks, brokers or other financial companies to recommend products. If we ever publish sponsored content, it will be clearly labeled.
Cifra Ajuda does not sell financial products, broker transactions or ask for bank details or payments.

Important notice

The content of Cifra Ajuda is informational and educational. It is not personalized financial, investment, tax or legal advice and does not replace a qualified professional who knows your situation.
