Abstract :
These case studies were conducted to identify the types of fraud that exist in Malaysian Federal Statutory Bodies. Two organizations from the public sector were selected for this exercise to gain some insights on the types of fraud that occurred and actions taken to prevent the reoccurrence of fraud. The findings of these six cases would be of interest to organizations in the public and private sectors. Fraud will happen if there is a slack in the monitoring as well as weakness in the internal control system.
