Abstract
The fraud scandals in Malaysia among public servants provide a chance to understand why fraudsters could be motivated to commit fraud. The purpose of the paper is to review and propose religiosity as a moderating variable in determining the influence of each element of the Fraud Triangle Theory (pressure, opportunity, and rationalisation) on fraud intention. This paper will provide three reasons religiosity is vital as a moderating variable for understanding fraud intention from various elements in the Fraud Triangle Theory.
