Abstract: This paper aims to investigate the potential for Fraud and Money Laundering (FML) and its causes in mosque donations in Indonesia, as well as to develop controls to prevent such FML. The paper produced findings on five PFML (Potential Fraud Money Laundering) schemes, several causes, and 13 controls to prevent them using a case study method. These findings are significant given the large number of mosque donations in Indonesia and their vulnerability to fraud and money laundering. Mosque donations are Islamic religious donations that are highly beneficial for reducing poverty and fostering good moral values through religious activities at mosques. The findings of this study have practical implications for Indonesia and the world as input for the government, anti-corruption and money laundering agencies, zakat institutions, and mosque management organizations in formulating policies and regulations related to the prevention of FML in mosque donations. Another practical implication of this research is that it can serve as input for mosque donors to avoid becoming victims of FML related to their donations. Another implication is that the research findings, including 13 controls, can be applied in mosques in Indonesia and around the world as measures to prevent fraud in mosque donations.
