Wirecard whistleblower Pav Gill has launched a new agentic governance platform bringing governance, risk and compliance (GRC) into one system to end reliance on a “patchwork of disconnected point solutions”.
Confide will give professionals a shared environment in which to set the standard for how GRC should run and put it into practice with AI agents, all while retaining full human oversight. It is designed to govern not only people, but also the AI agents that increasingly work alongside them.
The system was built from his lived experience of the Wirecard scandal and his prior career as a general counsel working with legacy GRC software. Confide has been actively setting the standard for improved corporate governance since 2024, and this latest product iteration develops its capabilities further.
The Wirecard scandal saw top executives fabricate billions in non-existent revenue and cash reserves as part of a decade long accounting fraud, which collapsed in 2020 over a missing 1.9bn.
Lax corporate governance and fragmented data have long been issues within scaling enterprises and large corporations, with news reports of whistleblowing allegations, HR cases and occupational fraud on the rise.
In August, KPMG made headlines over its handling of a whistleblower who alleged that confidential client information had been improperly shared within the firm’s Australian audit division to help win audit contracts from rival companies.
