T This study aims to examine the effect of the fraud hexagon concept on fraud within government agencies and to analyze the role of integrated governance, risk management, and compliance (grc) as a moderating variable. the fraud hexagon elements examined in this study include stimulus, capability, collusion, opportunity, rationalization, and ego. a quantitative approach was employed using a survey method, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to employees of the ministry of marine affairs and fisheries of the republic of indonesia. the data were analyzed using partial least squares-structural equation modeling (pls-sem) to assess the validity and reliability of the measurement model and to examine the relationships among the variables in the proposed research model. a total of 163 respondents completed the questionnaires, while 54 valid responses were included in the final analysis following data grouping based on gender, educational attainment, and work experience. the results indicate that stimulus, rationalization, and ego have a positive effect on fraud in government agencies. furthermore, integrated grc was found to moderate the effect of capability on fraud. however, other variables did not demonstrate a significant effect within the tested model. these findings suggest that work pressure, the rationalization of deviant behavior, and individual feelings of superiority remain critical factors that can heighten fraud risk in the public sector. the findings further highlight the importance of strengthening governance, risk management, compliance, internal controls, and a culture of integrity to mitigate the potential for fraud. this study concludes that the implementation of integrated grc should not be limited to an administrative mechanism but should also serve as an instrument for behavioral control and sustainable fraud prevention.
