The accountability factor.
Why the continuing parade of frauds? Fraud control begins and ends with the governing board. An effective governing board controls the executive staff (not vice-versa) and actively oversees money and where and how it is spent. If accountability is the issue, the logical question is "What are the signs that accountability is not a part of the hospital or system's culture?".
