Abstract

Fraud in strategic sectors such as healthcare, defense, energy, and technology undermines public trust, weakens economic development, and jeopardizes national security. These sectors are highly vulnerable due to their complexity, financial volume, and critical role in public welfare and sovereignty. This article examines recent evidence of fraud in hospital procurement and billing, defense contracts, renewable energy subsidies, and technological innovation programs. It argues that robust auditing mechanisms, transparency initiatives, and technological solutions are necessary to detect and mitigate fraud in these critical domains. By analyzing academic and institutional sources, the paper underscores the importance of compliance, international cooperation, and leadership accountability in preventing systemic corruption.
