The editorial team retains the right to determine which articles will be published. We receive many contributions to the magazine and plan future issues well in advance. Any decision to publish (or not) is based on the requirements of our readers and the editorial direction and style of the magazine.  
 
The editorial team also reserves the right to cut articles to fit and to edit articles according to the Charter Style Guide. The editorial team is also responsible for writing headlines, box-outs, and at a glance sections for each story (in consultation with the author where appropriate).  
 
The design team reserves the right to design and lay articles out according to the magazine design brief and the Institute of Chartered Accountant's brand guidelines, and to choose illustrations where appropriate.  
 
The technical articles in Charter are edited according to current and accepted industry standard, as agreed by Institute of Chartered Accountant technical consultants.  
 
Academic pieces and research papers are generally not suitable for publication in Charter.  
 
Submission of an article for publication constitutes an agreement to these terms.
