The Fraud Diamond of Public Service in Indonesia
Abstract
Fraud Diamond is a fraud model that can lead to acts of corruption. Corruption is a dynamic crime that has occurred at almost all levels of government, both central and regional. This condition becomes a serious problem in the public service process. Various causes of corruption problems in the public service process are related to the Fraud Diamond. This study uses the literature review method to analyze the Fraud Diamond Model in cases of public service’s corruption so that it can find the potential for corruption and make appropriate recommendations. The results show that public service corruption is influenced by Fraud Diamond (rationalization, pressure, opportunity, and capability) which can be grouped into four dimensions. Rationalization because of low bureaucratic integrity. Pressure such as collusion and convoluted bureaucratic practices. Opportunities such as power failure in supervisory agencies, while capabilities like authority, power, and total assets. The recommendations are to increase transparency and accountability and improve the monitoring system. In addition, it is also necessary to implement a comprehensive bureaucratic reform.
