Abstract

Fraud in village governance undermines accountability and public trust. This study explores how local wisdom in Balinese adat villages contributes to fraud prevention. Using a phenomenological approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with six informants from three adat villages and supported by document analysis. The findings show that Tri Hita Karana, ngayah, and awig-awig strengthen transparency, collective responsibility, community participation, and accountability. Religious values, including Karma Phala and Tri Kaya Parisudha, reinforce ethical behavior and self-regulation. Thus, with formal governance controls, these values create a multi-layered accountability system that discourages fraudulent behavior. The study highlights the importance of integrating local wisdom into governance and accounting practices to strengthen fraud prevention in traditional village governance.
