INTRODUCTION
In the government environment, there are various types of fraud and the most common cause is fraud
or fraud in the procurement of goods/services. In Presidential Regulation 12 of 2021 concerning
amendments Number 16 of 2018 it is stated that the procurement of government goods/services has
an important role in the implementation of national development in improving public services and
developing the national and regional economy.cases Fraud are often found in government agencies,
both in State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) and Regional-Owned Enterprises (BUMD), which focus
on goods/services procurement activities. Fraud that often appears in public sector organizations is
corruption, misappropriation of assets and false statements. E-procurement in general can be
defined as the automation of an organization's procurement process by using a web-based application
(Nawi et al, 2016:329). In addition to the implementation of e-procurement, it is very important in
influencing the prevention of fraud, other factors such as the government's internal control system
and the quality of the procurement committee of goods/services also have a role in preventing fraud.
Internal control is defined as a process carried out by a group of people such as the board of
commissioners, management, personnel to provide the achievement of three objectives, namely,
reliability of financial reports, operational effectiveness and efficiency, and compliance with
applicable laws and regulations. The quality of the goods/services procurement committee is defined
as whether the team that has been selected to carry out the selection of goods/services providers has
met the required criteria. The aspect that can judge the success or failure of a system of procurement
of goods and services is professionalism. In the city of Palembang, in carrying out the procurement
of goods and services, most still apply the conventional method although some have used electronic-
based procurement (e-procurement

Transparency International Indonesia (TII) recorded that Indonesia's CPI in 2020 was at 37 and
ranked 102 out of 180 countries studied. This score can be concluded that there is a decrease of 3
points from 2019 at a score of 40 with a rank of 85. The highest achievement in obtaining
Indonesia's longest CPI score in the last 25 years is in 2019. The theory that arises is due to a conflict
of interest between the principal (society) and agent (government) ) is called agency theory. The
relationship in this study is to explain the city government (agent) who is authorized to provide
useful information for users of government financial information as principals in order to reduce
fraud in which the government must improve prevention of its performance as a checks and balance.
Agency theory states that the principal states that the institution is managed well by the agent, but
there are differences in interests between the principal and the agent, but the principal certainly
expects a qualified and experienced agent (Panda & Leepsa, 2017). A qualified agent is an agent
who has integrity, competence, independence and objectivity and the institution can certainly carry
out the organization to prevent fraud, and the professionalism or quality of the procurement
committee is one of the factors that influence the success of a procurement system in achieving the
goals that have been set (Pratama et al. al. 2017). The purpose of this study is to determine the effect
of the e-procurement system, internal control system, and the quality of the procurement committee
on the prevention of fraud in the procurement of goods and services. The contribution of this
research is intended as a means for the Palembang City Government and academics as well as
providing input.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Agency theory states that there is a lot of information asymmetry between the agent (government)
and the principal (society) which can trigger fraud by agents. As a consequence, the city government
must be supervised to ensure that the management is carried out in full compliance with applicable
laws and regulations. With the ever-increasing efforts to prevent fraud in the procurement of goods
and services, it can reduce the occurrence of fraudulent acts and allow the opportunity to commit
irregularities to also be smaller.

The results show that the value of rcount for each each statement on the E-procurement System
variable (X1) ranges from 0.406 to 0.776, the Internal Control System variable (X2) ranges from
0.387 to 0.739, the Procurement Committee Quality variable (X3) ranges from 0.413 to i with
0.764, and the variable of Prevention of Procurement of Goods and Services Fraud (Y) ranges from
0.478 to 0.782. All calculated r values for each statement regarding the variables of the E-
procurement System (X1), Internal Control System (X2), Quality of the Procurement Committee
(X3), and Prevention of Fraud Procurement of Goods and Services (Y) are greater than r table
(0.361 ). This means that each statement item in this study has met the validity test or all of the
statements are valid and can be used for research data collection
Partial Significance Test (t test)
The t-table value is significant 0.05/2 (2-sided test) with degrees of freedom df=nk-1 or 139-3-
1=135, so the t-table value is 1.977692/- 1.977692. The test values in this study are shown in table

The results of multiple regression testing obtained R of 0.973 which means that the
correlation/relationship between System E-procurement (X1), Internal Control System (X2)and
Quality of Procurement Committee (X3) has a relatively strong relationship of 97.3%. While the
value of R Square or the value of the coefficient of determination is obtained at 0.946. This means
that the X variable has a 94.6% contribution effect on the Y variable. While the rest (100% -
94.6% = 5.4%) is explained by other independent variables not included in this study. The
adjusted R Square value of 0.945 or 94.5% shows the contribution of the independent variable to
the dependent variable.
Simultaneous Significance Test (F-Test)
The f-table value with degrees of freedom Df = nk or 139-4 = 135, so the f-table value is
2.671676. The test values in this study are shown in Table 7
