Abstract:







This research delves into the pivotal role of the control environment as the bedrock of internal control, shaping the organization's culture and structure. By encompassing integrity, ethical values, organizational structure, human resource policies, and management practices, the control environment significantly influences fraud occurrences. This study aims to explore how the control environment contributes to fraud detection and prevention. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research probes into human perceptions and experiences, shedding light on the intricate interplay between control environment elements and fraud mitigation efforts. The findings provide valuable insights into the practical implications of cultivating a robust control environment to curb fraudulent activities, thereby fostering a more secure and ethically sound organizational ecosystem
