For Regulated Entities
Document verification for regulated entities.
Audrie enables banks, AML/CTF reporting entities, and compliance teams to verify counterparty documents, generate auditable due diligence records, and demonstrate to regulators that they relied on authenticated evidence.
The Document Fraud Problem
Major lenders report that the majority of discovered lending fraud involves tampered official documents which are modified to show inflated income figures before being submitted to lenders as evidence of financial position.
AI-generated identity documents and financial records are increasingly sophisticated and often indistinguishable from genuine documents by visual inspection. Detection tools are engaged in an arms race with generation tools, and detection cannot win.
Current defences – certified copies, manual document checks, and visual inspection – are inadequate. A certifier confirming a certified copy cannot verify that the underlying document is genuine. The certification itself is trivially forgeable.
Audrie as a Compliance Tool
A Verifiable Record of Reliance
Regulated entities are required to demonstrate why they relied on a document. Audrie provides a mechanism to do this that is auditable, traceable, and immutable.
Web verification is free and does not require an account. Sign in or create a free account to download a free Verification Certificate – a system-authenticated record that proves:
- Which document you checked
- When you checked it
- What result you received
- Who authenticated the document and when
- The current status of the authenticator at the time of verification
This certificate records the check you performed and its result. Its admissibility and weight in a particular proceeding depend on the applicable evidentiary requirements.
A Higher Standard Than Certified Copies
Certified copies are the current industry standard for document verification. A certified copy confirms only that a named individual has seen the original and believes it to be genuine. It does not confirm:
- That the document the certifier saw was genuine
- That the certifier has the expertise to judge authenticity
- That the document has not been modified after certification
- That the certifier's authority to certify remains current
Audrie authentication records the identity-verified authenticator and relevant government or professional registration checks. It does not establish the truth of the underlying document or determine legal authority, capacity or freedom from duress. The cryptographic binding makes post-authentication modification immediately detectable. Unlike legacy certification, there is a perpetual auditable record of the authentication and authenticator. Authenticators can also have their status revoked if necessary with revocation retroactive across all documents they have ever authenticated.
The Audit Trail
Every verification check made through Audrie is recorded: the verifier's email address, the document checked, the timestamp, and the result. This audit trail is available to your compliance team and provides a complete record of document verification activity across your organisation.
