Anonymous reporting that maintains the confidentiality and privacy of the reporter is able to support the effectiveness of the application of the whistleblowing system by increasing the interest and courage of the reporter to report the violations they find and suspect. The results of this study indicate that the effectiveness of the implementation of  whistleblowing  system with anonymous reporting can reduce the number of corruption and fraud committed in companies and within the government.
