The research discusses the development of a comprehensive fraud detection model that emphasizes transparency, accountability, and regulatory compliance, fostering a more secure financial environment. Through a comparison with conventional fraud detection methods, this study highlights the superior efficiency, accuracy, and adaptability of analytics-driven approaches. Implications for financial institutions and policymakers are addressed, emphasizing the need for supportive regulations and privacy considerations. Finally, the study outlines future research directions, including the integration of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology in fraud prevention systems. The findings demonstrate that business analytics plays a critical role in fortifying economic integrity by advancing fraud detection capabilities.
