NZ Whistleblowing Is Surging. Is Your Organisation Ready?
Four years ago, the Chief Ombudsman received just 71 protected disclosure enquiries over a 12-month period. Last year, that number was 278. That’s not a blip in NZ whistleblowing, it’s a pattern — and it’s accelerating. In 2022/23, disclosures rose…
Retail Fraud Prevention: Why Large Chains Need an ‘Early Warning System’
For retailers in New Zealand, fraud isn’t just a line item—it’s a multi-layered threat that drains approximately 5% of annual revenue. From sophisticated inventory skimming to “sweethearting” at the POS, the scale of modern retail makes total oversight nearly impossible…
More Than Just Money: Why NZ Businesses Must Treat Harassment & Safety Reports Differently

Whistleblowing programmes: Solutions to Common Challenges
Whistleblowing programmes are essential for maintaining ethical standards and compliance within organisations. They provide a mechanism for employees to report misconduct, fraud, and other unethical behaviour. Implementing and maintaining an effective whistleblowing programme, however, can be challenging – for a…
When the judge spells your name
Reputational damage, widespread media criticism, mutilation of a customer’s limb (leading to long-term financial, career and lifestyle impacts), emotional trauma to an employee (heightened by prosecution for careless driving causing injury, when he was, arguably, just doing his job)….the list…
