Received: February 26, 2025 Accepted: June 03, 2025 Published: June 06, 2025 ABSTRACT The increase in corruption cases in Indonesia from year to year has come under the spotlight of various parties where the majority of cases come from the government sector, especially in goods/services procurement. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence the accountability of government performance in fraud Research data is primary data obtained through questionnaires and analyzed with Partial Least Square (PLS) using the smartPLS program. Research population is procurement actors who are directly involved in the procurement process of goods and services in all work units of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries. Research samples are 100 samples using a purposive sampling The results showed that the implementation of e-procurement has a positive effect on preventing fraud in the procurement of government goods and services, and the internal control system has a significant positive effect on preventing fraud in the procurement of government goods and services, and the whistleblowing system has a positive effect on preventing fraud in the procurement of government goods and services. This research is expected to serve as a valuable source of information and a foundation for policy-making, ensuring a more effective procurement process for goods and services within the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries. Keywords: E-Procurement Implementation. Internal Control Systems. Whistleblowing Systems INTRODUCTION Procurement of goods and services in the government sector is a vital agenda to support government activities in building facilities and Procurement of goods and services in practice is regulated in Presidential Regulation No. 16 of 2018 which was updated by Presidential Regulation No. 12 of 2021. This regulation contains procedures and governance for the procurement of goods and services properly and However, in fact, even though there are regulations that are used as a basis for regulating the procurement process of goods and services, there are still many cases of corruption, collusion and nepotism that cause fraud in the procurement of goods and services.

For example, there have been several cases of fraud in the government sphere related to the Procurement of Goods and Services over the past few years, one of the cases occurred in the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries itself and the Supreme Court has sentenced the former Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries as a defendant because he was proven to businessmen related to the export of lobster seeds (BBL) or benur, the Supreme Court decided the verdict on the former Minister of Social Affairs in 2021 as a defendant in corruption in the procurement of social assistance at the Ministry of Social Affairs in handling the Covid-19 pandemic, in addition in 2017, the Supreme Court decided the verdict on the former Minister of Health as a defendant in a case of abuse of authority in the procurement of medical devices . to anticipate extraordinary events (KLB), and in 2014, the Supreme Court decided the verdict on the former Minister of Youth and Sports (Menpor. as a defendant in procurement of goods and services for the continued development of the National Sports Education.

Imtikhanah, & Hidayah . who conducted research by testing the effect of implementing an eprocurement system and internal control on preventing fraud in government procurement of goods and services, where in its development, a potential variable was added, namely the Whistleblowing System. The researcher considers it important to add this variable because the Whistleblowing System in efforts to prevent fraud is one of the important things in achieving the goals and objectives of the organization. However, the results of the internal control system research conducted by Krisna Dewi & Sari Dewi . revealed something different by showing that the committee's income had a negative effect on the tendency of fraud in the procurement of goods/services, system and procedures had a positive effect on the tendency of fraud in the procurement of goods/services, the internal control system had a negative effect on the tendency of fraud in the procurement of goods/services, the quality of the procurement committee had a positive effect on the tendency of fraud in the procurement of goods/services, and procurement ethics had a negative effect on the tendency of fraud in the procurement of goods/services. Due to the research gap between the research conducted by Krisna Dewi & Sari Dewi . and Romaissah.

The effective implementation of SPIP can ensure that the procurement of goods/services transparently, effectively, efficiently, accountably, and in accordance with applicable regulations. Here are some ways in which SPIP can support the goods/services to run well and can reduce the Risk of Deviation. The effective implementation of the Government Internal Control System (SPIP) will greatly support the success and smoothness of the supervision process for the procurement of government goods/services. The results of this study provide implications for government agencies, especially the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, so that each employee understands and is able to explain their authority and duties appropriately in the internal control Conduct training related to understanding of the authority, duties, and reporting channels that exist in the This training must be carried out periodically to update employee understanding. In addition, an internal portal or application can be created that contains internal control guidelines and procedures that are easily accessible to all employees and provide open employees can ask about tasks, authorities and reporting lines. Whistleblowing System for Prevention Fraud Government Procurement of Goods and Services From the results of the t-test, it was found that the Whistleblowing System has a positive effect on preventing fraud in government procurement of goods and services.
