Audit to Detect Fraud and Corruption: Evaluation of the fight against
corruption and money laundering: Country paper of Thailand is the results of OAG
Thailand which is participated in the 10th Research Project of ASOSAI. Presently,
corruption and money laundering are still major obstacles of economic development
which many countries in Asia have been encountered these problems. Therefore,
this study is focused on the role of Supreme Audit Institution (SAI) to anti-corruption
and money laundering. During 2012-2014, the researcher attempted to explain
current situation of corruption and money laundering under academic approach.
Likewise, we clarified current situation of anti-corruption and anti-money laundering
throughout Anti-Corruption Agencies (ACAs). Nowadays, SAI is the important ACAs
to fight corruption and money laundering. Furthermore, we tried to relate our audit
experiences which might involve to anti-corruption and money laundering. Basically,
SAI is involved with anti-corruption and money laundering in three roles, that is,
prevention, detection, and report & follow up. Finally, we proposed how to improve
concrete measures about audit function in detecting corruption. We attempted to
categorize these measures in three levels, that is, international, national and
organizational levels. The author expected that we could adopt these concrete
measures from other SAIs in order to develop capacity of OAG Thailand for anticorruption
and money laundering.
