PREFACE
Many organizations of private or public nature are not spared from the risks of fraud and corruption. The complex business processes make it impossible to find a common solution for combating fraud and corruption. Even in similar business processes the nature of fraud and corruption cannot be predicted. As a result of this a lot of resources are lost, wasted, and abused. Other organizations have put in strict punitive measures for the culprits but still this has not relatively reduced incidences of fraud and corruption. There is growing consensus that organizations with good corporate governance practices have marginal incidences of fraud and corruption. In this paper I will discuss the link between corporate governance and prevention of fraud and corruption.
