Innovation in Integrity: Report It Now™ Partners with Accord Analytics to Transform Fraud Detection

Report It Now™ is excited to announce its strategic partnership with Accord Analytics, Perth-based pioneers in AI-powered fraud detection. 

This collaboration represents a significant leap forward in how organisations can protect themselves from financial loss and reputational damage by combining cutting-edge fraud detection AI technology with our proven secure reporting and case management expertise.

New Zealand organisations are confronting a significant increase in workplace fraud and misconduct. The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) recorded a 40% increase in fraud and corruption complaints in 2022, as reported in their 2022 Annual Report. Additionally, protected disclosures and whistleblower complaints to authorities have surged by 58% in the past year, as noted in the SFO’s 2023-2024 Annual Report.

The Solution: A Complete Integrity Ecosystem

“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,” says Craig McFarlane, Director of Report It Now™ Global Limited.

“Many organisations have robust reporting systems but lack sophisticated detection capabilities. Others might have good detection tools but struggle with secure, confidential investigation processes.”

“Our partnership addresses both sides of this equation, creating a comprehensive integrity solution that covers the complete fraud lifecycle—from proactive identification through to secure resolution.

Fraud Detection Meets Innovation

The collaboration with Accord Analytics creates an integrated integrity solution that covers the complete fraud lifecycle—from proactive identification through to secure resolution.

At the heart of this partnership is Accord Analytics’ innovative approach to fraud detection. 

The company brings advanced AI technology that can rapidly identify fraud patterns using simple data extracts. Their algorithms, inspired by fields such as physics and transport economics, can detect fraud “fingerprints” that traditional methods often miss. What’s particularly impressive is their ability to deliver actionable results within 48 hours without requiring complex system integrations.

Adrian Fry, Director of Accord Analytics, explains: “Accord Analytics uses advanced AI to detect fraud patterns in payroll, vendor transactions, and communications data that traditional methods cannot identify.”

“What makes our approach unique is the ability to deliver actionable results within 48 hours using simple data extracts—no complex integrations required.”

“This partnership creates a powerful end-to-end solution where our AI detection capabilities seamlessly connect with Report It Now’s secure reporting and case management expertise.”

The Future of Fraud Detection and Integrity Management

“As organisations face increasingly sophisticated fraud risks, this integrated approach represents the future of comprehensive integrity management,” says Greg Dunn, fellow director at Report It Now™. 

“We’re not just detecting problems; we’re creating systems that prevent them from escalating and provide clear pathways for resolution when issues do arise.”

“What makes this collaboration particularly valuable is how it bridges the gap between fraud detection and action. When suspicious activity is detected through AI analysis, organisations need secure, confidential channels to properly investigate and address those concerns. That’s exactly what this partnership delivers.”
