Whistleblowing is as simple as filling in an online questionnaire with Fraudsec, the idea of a technology start-up founded by Sylvain Mansotte, the key whistleblower in a fraud case at Leighton Contractors in 2013. His system, which allows a whistleblower to anonymously create a report and attach files, is being trialled by several major organisations. The New South Wales Department of Education has also made inquiries about modifying it to combat bullying in schools.
