<![CDATA[The goods and services procurement phase is highly susceptible to fraud. Although the implementation of e-procurement is deemed capable of achieving transparency and efficiency, views still differ on the extent to which this electronic system can reduce fraud. This study examines how each stage of e-procurement implementation affects fraud prevention in public procurement. A quantitative approach was applied through a Likert-scale questionnaire distributed purposively to e-procurement users in the Banyuasin Regency Government. Of the 168 questionnaires distributed, 126 were completed in full and analysed by multiple linear regression. The research findings demonstrate that the planning stage, the committee formation stage and the bid evaluation stage have a positive and significant effect on fraud prevention, whereas the prequalification, tender document preparation, announcement and disclaimer stages do not.
