Coordinating across five teams
Andrew Driscoll, Director Corporate Finance at Fortescue, needed to coordinate the organisation’s fact-checking process across five teams: Sustainability, Investor Relations, Finance, Legal, and the Company Secretary.
“Previously, our approach to fact-checking was a manual process that lacked some consistency in methodology between different teams. For major reporting periods we relied on a combination of manual spreadsheets and shared data rooms to track verification, which was time-consuming and created some duplication.”
Atticus gave Fortescue a more structured approach
Atticus provided the structured approach the finance team was looking for.
The transition to Atticus brought consistency, transparency, and efficiency to our verification process. The platform’s ability to track edits and amendments accurately eliminated the need to re-verify the same data and reduced the reliance on manual tools.

The biggest improvement came from two key features: multiple primary documents and evidence finder.
These features allowed teams to work simultaneously on large documents while maintaining a clear audit trail of all verification activities across hundreds of pages.
Meeting deadlines with confidence
The results were particularly valuable during time-sensitive reporting cycles.
- Five business units working with consistent methodology
- Reduced duplication across verification processes
- Enhanced transparency for senior management
- Improved deadline confidence for ASX announcements and annual reporting
“Atticus played an important role in helping us meet disclosure deadlines, particularly for ASX announcements and the annual reporting suite.”
