“…Hasil ini mengindikasikan bahwa ratarata jumlah kasus korupsi yang diungkap oleh kejaksaan masih dalam kategori rendah. Kemudian un tuk opini audit menghasilkan nilai ratarata 0,5871 yang artinya adalah ratarata opini audit yang diberikan oleh BPK adalah WTP dan WDP yaitu pemerintah daerah telah (Purcell, 2016;Siddi, 2016). Oleh karena itu, temuan ini mem perkuat argumen tersebut bahwa daerah yang mandiri dari aspek keuangan akan cenderung menggunakan dana secara le bih leluasa sehingga memunculkan terjadi nya penyelewengan dan pada akhirnya ber dampak pada opini audit yang kurang baik.…”

kannya penelitian ini adalah untuk menguji faktor penentu kinerja pemerintah daerah. Adapun metode yang digunakan dalam pengujian adalah persamaan struktural dengan laporan pemeriksaan BPK dari 31 pemerintah provinsi di Indonesia sebagai sampel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya urgensi bagi pemerintah daerah untuk lebih me merhatikan pencapaian kinerja yang riil, bukan hanya sebatas forma litas untuk meraih opini WTP dan mengabaikan penyelewengan atau korupsi yang terjadi. Hal ini disebabkan karena adanya korupsi atau penyelewengan bisa menciptakan preferensi kepada masyarakat untuk tidak memilih petahana yang memiliki kinerja ekonomi buruk.

“…Supposedly, leader's action of resolving issues pertaining to corruption in his/her own way are not supposed to occur because Article 4 of Code of Conducts for Public Officials (Conduct and Discipline) (Amendment) Regulations 2009 provides holistic guidelines on compliance and appropriate penalties to create an ethical public service community. An organisation with good ethical policies and practices requires leaders who can act as role models and demonstrate ethical behaviour (Purcell, 2016). Affirmative disciplinary actions outlined in Article 4, code of conduct should be enforced to serve as a warning to other employees that fraudulent acts are serious and are subjected to severe penalties.…”

“…Misappropriation of assets, for instance, is not considered to be a serious offence by the city council principal because there is no "hard-cash" involved. Accordingly, poor management practices could become a contributory factor in the occurrence of fraud since no affirmative actions are taken to penalise any wrongdoings (Ghazali et al, 2014;Purcell, 2016).…”

Year on year, the Auditor General's Report had reported on the inefficiencies and weaknesses in the government administrative system. Accordingly, this research aims to identify why misappropriation of assets and corruption are still occurring despite the elaborated preventive measures in place. Due the sensitivity of the area, a phenomenological study is the most appropriate method to approach the objective. This research used the evidence collected from both the semi-structured interviews and open-ended survey from local authorities in Malaysia. Information and data from face-to-face interviews served as the primary source of information while responses received by postages served as a secondary support to the primary research instrument. Based on the responses, inefficient leader becomes the centrepiece of the other ten challenges, namely, attitude, weak enforcement, lack of internal strengths, ineffective training, lack of authority, opportunity due to lack of control, burden of proof due to bureaucracy, favouritism/ excessive discretions, organisational culture, and public perception. This research contributes to the literature by investigating a commonly proposed subject but underexplored methodology by incorporating phenomenology and open-ended survey simultaneously in data collection to understand a holistic view of the discussed issues. While detailed research of whistle-blowing programs is outside the scope of this research, future research should acknowledge the importance of whistle-blowing programs in the Malaysian public sector which move beyond the compliance of established policies and procedures.

“…Fraud and wrongdoing in governments are difficult to stop (Purcell, 2015), but the public needs to know if the local government or authority is doing everything it can to stop this from happening and make sure that its officials keep the integrity of the organization. Integrity is a big part of their culture or way of life, which is one way of how they show their commitment.…”

Vision, mission and objective statements are essential for the government departments to declare their fortifications for protecting public assets and upholding the highest possible ethical standards. Vision, mission and objective statements are defined and documented by state government departments in Malaysia to deter, among other things, official wrongdoing and dishonesty. The objective of this study is to investigate the efforts made by state government agencies to stop employee fraud and misconduct. The phrase integrity and its synonyms in the vision, mission and objective statements are recognized and examined after studying all of the state governments' official websites in Malaysia. The fact that the term "integrity" even exists can serve as a sign of how committed state government agencies are to upholding a responsible and reputable organization. The descriptive statistical analysis technique was utilized in the study to examine Malaysian state government departments' attention to preventing fraudulent actions from occurring. A keyword search method was employed. An examination of the official websites of state-affiliated organizations with the goal of determining if local governments promote integrity in their major identity statements. Results from the study indicate most state governments in Malaysia are not committed to the fight against fraud because integrity is not emphasized in their vision, mission and objective statements. Future research may take into consideration each term and phrase that has an identical meaning to that of the integrity. To date, studies on the importance of these statements are quite limited. Therefore, this study can be a preliminary study to provide important information in instilling integrity in state government employees by emphasizing it in the vision, mission and objective statements.
