Kassem, Rasha (2025). Designing Controls With Behaviour in Mind: Addressing Insider Fraud in the Public Sector. The Public Sector Counter Fraud Journal (16), pp. 11-17.
Abstract
Insider fraud is one of the most damaging and underestimated risks in the public sector, often enabled by weak controls but driven by deeper human behaviours like resentment, entitlement, rationalisation, and a lack of oversight. Dr Rasha Kassem explores how public bodies can design fraud controls that consider not just what people do, but why they do it.
