Reporting a misconduct at work should never be underestimated as a little spark can grow to a flame in a short time. There is a positive impact of using ICT framework when dealing with whistleblowing at work. The act presented in the paper consists of six components, the first component is creating an online reporting tool that streamlines the allegation process by providing a single reporting mechanism for whistleblowers with possible anonymous reporting functionality. Second is stating that any act that harms the organization considered a malpractice and will be treated seriously with complete discretion about the whistleblower. Third is the organization is vowed to protect reporters and treat information with great confidentiality while conducting inspection process through the online reporting tool. Fourth is penalties for claiming a false allegation. Fifth is awards for reporting depending on reflection report from inspection committee personnel who are utilizing data from the online reporting tool.
