Whether the system is good or not in the scope of government, the opportunity to tend to commit fraud depends on the individual or the individual morality of each employee. In other words, whether or not the morality of individual employees does not influence certain employees to commit fraud as long as the environment and opportunities are supportive to rationalize their actions.
