Neville Hobson, a former Vice President of Corporate Communications, shares a near career-ending mistake when he accidentally published financial results for a public company 12 hours early by hitting "publish" instead of "schedule."

Quick thinking and a lot of panic led him to unpublish the content, reschedule it correctly, and immediately report the incident to the stock exchange, which fortunately responded with understanding.

• Preparing financial results publication using FrontPage software
• Potentially illegal early disclosure of financial results for a public company
• Learning the critical importance of attention to detail
• Modern publishing risks are even greater with multiple access points
• First public disclosure of this corporate communications fuck up
