Organizations with more robust anti-fraud measures are more likely to maintain comprehensive, internal, external, and introspective integrity. Thus, a high degree of integrity presupposes a low level of corruption. A reasonable strategy would be to prevent employees from committing fraud before recognizing them, as we cannot do much once the harm has been done. Therefore, to improve evasion procedures, organizations need to have specific tactics and techniques in place to make them more understandable and visible to employees. This study aims to demonstrate the importance of integrity and introspection in preventing fraud in a business. The findings reveal several policy implications. First, corruption can be thwarted by vigorously enforcing integrity and introspection. Second, adopting these two variables alone is insufficient; we also require a strong political will to implement such measures.References
