Reporting and response system in organizations are related to whistleblowing intentions and they are considered by whistleblowers to conduct whistleblowing action.

This study was conducted as a laboratorial study at two universities in Central Java with 88 students in Account­ing major as respondents in this study of which this study produced 73 data that are ready to use. The study uses 2x2 between subjects design and manipulates the reporting systems and organizational responses. The result showed that subjects who used an online reporting system and received a response system of whistleblower tended to have higher intentions in carrying out whistleblowing.
