Abstract

This systematic literature review examines the application of machine learning (ML) techniques in fraud detection within the auditing domain, synthesizing findings from peer-reviewed studies published between 2019 and 2024. Following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this review analyzed 85 articles from Scopus, Web of Science, IEEE Xplore, and Google Scholar databases. The Kitchenham methodology was employed to ensure rigorous screening, extraction, and synthesis of relevant literature. The review reveals that ensemble methods, particularly Random Forest and XGBoost, demonstrate superior performance in fraud detection tasks. Deep learning architectures, including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, show promising results for complex fraud patterns. Key challenges identified include imbalanced datasets, model interpretability, and regulatory compliance. The emergence of Explainable AI (XAI) techniques, such as SHAP and LIME, addresses transparency concerns in audit applications. This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of ML applications in fraud detection specifically within the auditing context, offering a research agenda for future investigations and practical implications for audit practitioners and regulators.

Abstract

This systematic literature review examines the relationship between sustainable development reporting (SDR) and corporate financial performance (CFP), synthesizing empirical evidence from studies published between 2019 and 2024. The review addresses the ongoing debate regarding whether sustainability disclosure creates or destroys shareholder value. Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this review analyzed 88 peer-reviewed empirical articles from Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Studies were categorized by relationship direction, performance metrics used, reporting frameworks examined, and contextual moderators. The majority of studies (59%) report a positive relationship between SDR and CFP, supporting stakeholder theory and signaling theory. Mixed results (27%) suggest the relationship is contingent on moderating factors including firm size, industry, geographic region, and reporting quality. Negative relationships (9%) are primarily associated with short-term cost perspectives. GRI-aligned reporting and external assurance strengthen the positive SDR-CFP relationship. Market-based measures (Tobin’s Q) show stronger positive associations than accounting-based measures (ROA, ROE). This review provides a comprehensive framework integrating SDR dimensions, transmission mechanisms, and performance outcomes. It identifies critical moderating factors and offers actionable insights for practitioners while highlighting gaps for future research, including the need for longitudinal studies and investigation of SDG-specific reporting impacts.
