1.4 Research Questions
Research questions normally asked during the research project for answers in the form of hypothesis.
- How can fraud be detected and prevented in a local government system?
- How can effective internal control system be administered to prevent and detect fraud in a local government administration?
- To what extent can preventive, detective and corrective control model be useful for fraud detection and prevention in the system?
