Especially in the global digital age where intense competition is experienced, it is observed that companies with ethical values and having employees who are aware of fraud, are able to protect their assets more easily, reach their targets, increase their effectiveness/productivity and maintain their sustainability. The main aim of the study is to examine whether there is a significant difference between the demographic characteristics of Turkuvaz Media employees and their perception of fraud and their view on ethics. As far as it is known, there is no direct and comprehensive study that addresses on this spesific points for media businesses. In the study, Turkuvaz media was chosen as the company that was handled. Factors such as being one of the top largest, most widespread, well-established and most influential companies operating in the print-visual media sector in Turkey, with corporate governance, were effective in the selection of this company. Methodologically, questionnaire method was used to collect data. Survey questions were prepared and evaluated according to the basic components of the COSO Internal Control Model and 5- point Likert scaling. The survey was conducted on 202 employees covering all business functions and different position layers. The SPSS-22 version was used to analyze the data, including the necessary tests and frequency, Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis analyses. The study concluded that there were no significant differences between the demographic characteristics of the participants, including age, 101 education level, years of experience, position, and their perception of fraud and their view of ethics. It was also revealed that there were significant differences between female employees' fraud perception/view of ethics and men's in the light of gender criteria. It was found that females were higher than male participants in terms of statistical significance and scoring. In other words, although male employees are also high, it was indicated that female participants are more sensitive to fraud and ethical values. This result is also compatible with some studies in the literature. Due to the study is limited to the perceptions of 202 employees, it was recommended to conduct study with a larger number of different media employees to reach more general data.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPerception of FraudEthicsCOSO Internal ControlInternal AuditMediaConference Object100101
