Confidentiality policy

All meetings of the Global CFO Network are held under the Chatham House Rule, unless participants are notified otherwise in advance. The Rule states:

“When a meeting, or part thereof, is held under the Chatham House Rule, participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed.”

The Rule applies equally to members, speakers, guests and staff. Participants may use what is discussed in their own work. They may not attribute remarks to any individual or organisation, or disclose who attended.

Meetings are not recorded. Any summary or research the Global CFO Network publishes after a meeting is unattributed, unless the speaker concerned has approved the wording in writing.

Where a guest wishes to make remarks on the record, this will be stated at the start of the session.
