Reporting (whistleblowing) is an extremely important tool for preventing and curbing corrupt practices, exposing financial and tax fraud, and other violations that threaten public safety and health, financial integrity and the rule of law.

It is the people who work for or are in a working contact with a private or public organization who are often the first to learn about threats or damages, leading in many cases to irreversible consequences, both for the organization itself and for the public interest as a whole.

The confidential reporting system Confidential Reporting System is a specially developed internal channel for reporting committed or imminent breaches of the Bulgarian legislation and the Acts of the European Union, within the organization, which is designed on the basis of the requirements of Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2019 on the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law transposed in our national law through the Law on the Protection of Persons who Report or Publicly Disclose Information on Breaches. 

In the development of the SYSTEM, its creators TRANSPARENCY INTERNATIONAL – BULGARIA and "HAPPY COMPANY" LTD aim at ensuring that its management process guarantees comprehensiveness, integrity and confidentiality of the information flowing through it. An organization has been established to allow the introduction of such technical means for the processing of incoming data to ensure the protection of the identity of individuals by anonymizing personal data, including through cryptographic methods and means, as well as to prevent access of unauthorized persons to the information received.
