Report It Now New Zealand

Report It Now is an independent organisation that equips businesses with the tools and capabilities to foster an open and honest work environment. Formed in 2007 in response to evidence that unethical workplace conduct and wrongdoing was on the rise, Report It Now's bespoke EthicsPro™️ ‘CASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM' is a trusted, safe and secure method for staff to report fraudulent and dishonest behaviour. How it works: Report It Now provides organisations with an effective system to prevent unethical conduct. This is implemented over a six-stage process: 1. Risk evaluation 2. Needs assessment 3. Policy development 4. Staff training 5. Service promotion 6. Ongoing analysis This service & system operates quite independently from your organisation, and through EthicsPro™️, manages and tracks reports via a secure case management system. It also allows companies to remain compliant with the Protected Disclosures Act 2000. Vision: Report It Now's vision is to significantly reduce the incident rate of fraudulent and dishonest behaviour (and the adverse impact that this has on businesses and their employees). Research & statistics supporting the benefits of an independent ethical reporting service/partner (or whistleblowing service) are: An international study undertaken by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners found that • A typical organisation loses 5% revenue to fraud each year. The study further highlighted the effectiveness of a hotline resulting in: • 38% employers found out about fraud through an ethics hotline • 65% reports to a hotline warranted further investigation • 10% reports involved corruption or fraud • 71% hotline reports were the first notification of issues • 50% of organisations with an independent hotline had an increase in detected dishonest behaviour in their workplace.
