Report It Now™ is proud to announce its strategic alliance with Accord Analytics, creating Australia’s first truly integrated AI-powered fraud detection and secure reporting ecosystem.
This partnership combines Perth-based Accord Analytics‘ cutting-edge artificial intelligence capabilities with Report It Now’s established global expertise in secure whistleblowing and case management.
The Global Fraud Detection Challenge
Fraud patterns are evolving rapidly across international markets, with traditional detection methods continuing to to fall short.
- Asset misappropriation accounts for 89% of fraud cases globally, a finding consistently highlighted by the ACFE.
- Corruption affects 48% of investigated cases, as indicated in the ACFE’s 2024 Report to the Nations.
- Tip-offs remain the most effective detection method, uncovering 43% of fraud cases, as detailed in the ACFE’s 2024 Report to the Nations.
These figures demonstrate that while fraud schemes become more sophisticated, human reporting remains crucial for effective detection and prevention.
Innovation and Integrity
Founded by former senior anti-corruption investigators, Accord Analytics brings proven expertise in identifying fraud patterns that conventional audit processes often miss.
Adrian Fry, Director of Accord Analytics, explains the partnership’s significance: “As organisations face increasingly sophisticated fraud risks, this integrated approach represents the future of comprehensive integrity management.”
“Partnering with Report It Now™ creates a powerful end-to-end solution where our AI detection capabilities seamlessly connect with their secure reporting and case management expertise.”
The technical innovation lies in Accord Analytics’ ability to analyse complex data relationships using algorithms inspired by physics and transport economics.
These advanced models can identify suspicious patterns across payroll systems, vendor relationships, and communication networks within 48 hours using simple data extracts.
Key Benefits for Australian Organisations
Craig McFarlane, Director of Report It Now™ Global Limited, says the partnership will be transformative for those looking to direct and prevent fraud in the workplace.
“By combining Accord Analytics’ AI-driven detection capabilities with our secure reporting and case management systems, we’re creating a complete ecosystem that identifies risks earlier and resolves them more effectively.”
“This partnership represents a significant advancement in how organisations around the world can protect themselves from financial loss and reputational damage.”
The integrated solution delivers measurable value that strengthens organisational integrity frameworks:
- Rapid Response: Complete analysis and reporting within 48-hour timeframes

- Regulatory Alignment: Meets international compliance standards for whistleblowing protection
- Leadership Confidence: Provides positive assurance for board-level governance decisions

Mission-Driven Innovation
The partnership reflects shared values that extend beyond commercial objectives. Adrian Fry, Director of Accord Analytics, emphasises this commitment: “Our mission extends beyond commercial success—we’re committed to eliminating misconduct that undermines organisational integrity. Many business leaders find themselves harbouring concerns about potentially undetected issues within their operations.”
This philosophical alignment creates genuine value for international organisations seeking both technological innovation and ethical business practices. The combination provides what Fry describes as “positive assurance—genuine confidence in your organisation’s ethical standing.”
The Future of Fraud Detection
Greg Dunn, director at Report It Now™ highlights the strategic advantage: “What makes this collaboration particularly valuable is how it bridges the gap between detection and action.”
“Many organisations have robust reporting systems but lack the sophisticated detection capabilities that Accord Analytics brings. Together, we’re offering a solution that addresses the full integrity lifecycle.”
“This partnership represents a fundamental shift in how organisations are approaching fraud prevention and ethics management. Whilst algorithms can identify patterns and anomalies, human judgment and secure reporting channels remain essential for contextual understanding and appropriate response.”
“Rather than reactive responses to discovered problems, Report It Now and Accord Analytics are enabling both proactive identification combined with secure resolution pathways.”
