Author:

Abstract

Insurance companies play a crucial role in reducing risks and uncertainties, making them a vital part of the economy. However, they are vulnerable to various types of fraudulent activities, such as false claims, premium misuse, and financial record manipulation. While efforts have been made to address these challenges, more investigation is needed to determine the effectiveness of fraud prevention methods in maintaining financial stability. This research project aims to bridge this gap by exploring the empirical connections between internal control frameworks, transaction monitoring processes, financial audit procedures, and the overall financial stability of insurance companies in the Kenyan market. The goal is to understand how these techniques can deter fraud, promote regulatory compliance, and strengthen the organizational structures in the industry. Additionally, the study examines established theories like agency theory, risk management theory, institutional theory, and game theory to clarify the theoretical basis supporting these tactics and their impact on the financial stability and longevity of insurance companies. The conclusion of the study offers valuable insights regarding the correlation between fraud prevention measures and financial stability within the insurance sector.
