About
What Audrie is.
The Problem
Global commerce relies on documents for consequential decisions: lending, identity verification, regulatory compliance, market disclosures, and payments. The trust infrastructure that underpins these decisions is broken.
Legitimate documents are downloaded and modified. AI tools generate convincing but entirely fraudulent tax statements, company reports, and financial records. Documents are attributed to parties who did not create or authorise them.
Current defences are inadequate. Certifiers cannot verify that the document they are certifying is genuine. There is no audit trail of certification. The certification itself is trivially forgeable.
The Approach
Audrie does not attempt to detect fake documents. Detection is an arms race with no winner – generation tools improve faster than detection tools can keep up.
Instead, Audrie makes detection irrelevant. The question shifts from “is this document fake?” to “was this document authenticated by a verified person with something to lose?”
If a document was not authenticated through Audrie, the recipient knows not to trust it without further verification. If it was authenticated, there is a verified, accountable individual behind it who cannot deny their attestation.
The Trust Claim
When a document is authenticated by Audrie, the platform asserts a specific and limited claim: this verified individual, whose identity and authority have been confirmed, attested to this exact document at this specific time, and it has not been modified since.
Audrie proves provenance, integrity, and accountability. It does not assert that document contents are truthful. The authenticator bears full accountability for the contents – through non-repudiation – if they are false.
Australia First, Global Applicability
Audrie has launched in Australia which was specifically chosen for its accessible government registers, concentrated financial sector, and acute document fraud problem in regulated industries.
The platform is designed from day one for global operation. Post-quantum cryptography, a zero-storage architecture, and a jurisdiction-agnostic verification model are the foundations of a platform built to operate at global utility scale.
Use Cases
Commercial Lending Fraud
Australian Tier 1 banks report that up to 80% of commercial lending fraud involves tampered Business Activity Statements. BAS documents are downloaded from the ATO and modified to show inflated income figures, or generated entirely by AI. Audrie enables accountants and directors to authenticate the genuine document, and lenders to verify it instantly.
Trust and Complex Entity Documentation
Trust deeds, shareholder agreements, and other complex entity documents must be provided to financial institutions for regulatory purposes. Institutions currently rely on certified copies, where the certifier cannot verify the underlying document's authenticity. Audrie enables the lawyer or accountant who prepared the document to authenticate it. This creates a verifiable chain of trust.
Public Company Disclosures
ASX-listed companies are subject to fake leaked documents that can materially impact share prices. Audrie enables companies to authenticate their genuine communications, allowing anyone to instantly verify provenance and refute unauthenticated documents as likely fraudulent.
Invoice Fraud
Invoice fraud occurs when bank account details are modified in invoices between issuance and receipt. The payer unknowingly sends funds to a fraudulent account. Audrie enables the issuing company to authenticate the original invoice, and the recipient to verify that the invoice – including bank details – has not been altered.
KYC/KYB Identity Documentation
Banks and regulated entities must verify identity documents as part of Know Your Customer and Know Your Business obligations. AI-generated identity documents are increasingly sophisticated. Audrie enables document issuers to authenticate genuine documents, shifting the burden from detection to verification.
