Abstract

Blockchain technology has emerged as a disruptive force in the realm of global finance, offering the promise of enhanced efficiency, transparency, and security. This paper provides a comprehensive examination of the applications, opportunities, and challenges presented by blockchain in the context of international financial management. The decentralized ledger system of blockchain holds significant potential for automating processes and improving credit identification in Islamic finance, yet it faces obstacles such as regulatory uncertainty and interoperability issues in traditional banking systems. Despite these challenges, blockchain has the capacity to streamline cross-border payments, digitize trade finance operations, and revolutionize cross-border remittances. However, scalability concerns and regulatory ambiguities pose significant hurdles to widespread adoption and implementation. Considering these challenges, collaboration and innovation are essential to unlocking the full transformative potential of blockchain in reshaping the landscape of global finance. By addressing regulatory uncertainties, enhancing scalability, and fostering collaboration between industry stakeholders and policymakers, blockchain technology can pave the way for a more efficient, transparent, and inclusive international financial ecosystem.

Abstract

This qualitative research delves into cognitive biases and decision-making in investment practices to comprehend the intricate dynamics shaping human behavior in financial markets. The study aims to explore the influence of cognitive biases, emotional factors, and socio-cultural influences on investment decisions. Adopting thematic analysis, relevant literature on cognitive biases and decision-making in investment practices is systematically reviewed. The data analysis process involves iterative coding to identify recurring themes and patterns. Findings reveal the pervasive impact of cognitive biases such as overconfidence and confirmation bias on investment behavior, leading to suboptimal decision-making outcomes. Emotional factors like fear of missing out (FOMO) drive speculative behavior among investors, contributing to market inefficiencies. Moreover, socio-cultural factors influence risk perception and decision-making norms, shaping investment strategies across different cultural contexts. The study underscores the importance of recognizing and addressing cognitive biases in investment practices to improve decision outcomes and enhance long-term financial well-being. Behavioral interventions and technological advancements offer promising avenues for mitigating cognitive biases and enhancing decision-making efficiency. The implications for future research include deeper exploration of underlying mechanisms driving biases and cross-cultural comparisons to inform culturally sensitive interventions. This study contributes to advancing knowledge in behavioral finance and informs evidence-based practices in investment management.

Abstract

This research aims to critically analyze risk auditing, focusing on the auditor's approach, to uncover complexities and challenges inherent in contemporary auditing practices. The study synthesizes findings from a literature review, discussing implications for auditors, organizations, and future research. The multifaceted role of auditors in risk auditing involves identifying, assessing, and managing risks across financial and operational domains, ensuring organizational objectives and assets' safeguarding.

These challenges underscore the need for ongoing innovation and improvement in risk auditing practices. Empirical findings suggest a positive association between risk disclosures' quality and firm performance, emphasizing governance mechanisms' importance in risk management. By addressing challenges and collaborating with stakeholders, auditors can enhance risk management practices' effectiveness, safeguarding organizational objectives and assets in dynamic business environments.
