Guarding Village Funds as an Implementation of Anti-fraud Program to Prevent Corruption of Village Funds

Abstract

The village is one of the supporting elements in the government system. The government has allocated large amounts of village funds to improve infrastructure, economy, education and community welfare. The village head is the person who is responsible for community welfare and village development. However, unfortunately the village head has even become the perpetrator of fraud in the form of corruption. This shows that the village head, as the leader, does not have a high sense of integrity. The formulation of the problem in this study is how to guard village funds as the implementation of an anti-fraud program to prevent corruption of village funds. The research method used is qualitative research using secondary data. The results of this study show that guarding village funds as the implementation of an anti-fraud program to prevent corruption of village funds can be done by forming a special supervisory agency for village fund management, channeling village funds by one ministry, evaluating by several ministries related to village funds, optimizing the duties of law enforcement officers, and providing education to villagers about corruption.
