Mark Hoffman FCA, FCA

Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales · Partner, Hoffman Consultants LLP

Mark independently peer reviews every Purely Energy Live News article before publication. The brief is unchanged for every piece: are the numbers right, are the sources stated, does the editorial conclusion follow from the data on the page. Mark’s sign-off is the reason finance teams can treat the daily market take as decision-grade.

About the review

What an FCA peer review actually changes

An FCA designation is awarded by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales after a minimum of five years in practice, the ACA qualification, and continuing professional development. It is the same credential the FTSE 350 expects of its audit partners. Applying it to wholesale-market editorial means every figure quoted in a Purely Energy Live News article has been independently checked against its source before it reaches a finance director’s inbox.

The review covers three things: numerical accuracy (does the price quoted match the cited settlement), source attribution (is the source named and verifiable), and editorial logic (does the conclusion follow from the data shown). Articles that fail any of these are returned for re-drafting. Articles that pass carry Mark’s name on the public page so the reader can see who stood behind the take.

It is the same discipline the rest of the Purely Energy quote process runs on: wholesale price, non-commodity costs, supplier margin and our margin shown separately, with the working visible. The peer review is what extends that discipline from the quote PDF onto the daily editorial output.
