# Report a compliance case anonymously

Use the Anonymous Reporting Center \(ARC\) to submit any suspected or confirmed compliance case without disclosing your identity.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_comp\_case.compliance\_case\_business\_user

**Note:** This role is only required to access the **Employee Center**. No role is required to submit a report directly through ARC.

## About this task

ARC enables you to report suspected misconduct safely and confidentially, encouraging early disclosure of compliance issues that might otherwise go unreported. You can report a case anytime, without sharing your name or contact details. Investigators only see the report details, not who submitted it.

**Note:** When submitting an anonymous report, don't include personal data about yourself or other individuals that could directly or indirectly reveal an identity. For example, names, email addresses, or phone numbers.

Anonymous reports accept standard text characters. Avoid including executable code, scripts, or unsupported special characters, because they may be removed automatically during submission. For more information, refer to [Overview of Anonymous Reporting Center](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/governance-risk-compliance/grc-common-functions/grc-anonymous-reporting-center.md).

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Self-Service** > **Employee Center**.

2.  On the **Employee Center** landing page, select **Risk and compliance**.

3.  Select the **Visit Anonymous Report Center** card.

    You're signed out of your employee account to maintain anonymity.

4.  Select **Continue**.

5.  On the ARC landing page, select **Submit a report anonymously**.

6.  Select **Report a compliance case**.

7.  On the form, fill in the fields.

    For a description of the field values on the **Report a Compliance Case** form, see [Anonymous compliance case form](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/governance-risk-compliance/compliance-case-management/anonymous-compliance-case-form.md).

8.  Enter the CAPTCHA verification code on the screen.

9.  Select **Submit**.

10. To save a PDF copy of your report, select **Download report copy**.

    **Note:** Save the report securely. The **Report key** and **Report number** are required to access updates or comments related to an anonymous report.


## Result

A compliance case is created and routed to the compliance case team for review. Your identity remains anonymous and is recorded as a guest. If the assigned case analyst needs more details, they may add comments to the report.

To respond to their comments, refer to [Follow up on a case anonymously](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/governance-risk-compliance/grc-common-functions/grc-follow-up-anonymously.md).
