Abstract

The digital transformation in the financial ecosystem has democratized investment access, yet simultaneously exposed retail investors to psychological vulnerabilities systematically induced by the architecture of digital investment platforms. This systematic literature review aims to critically investigate the escalation of cognitive biases, such as herding behavior and the illusion of control, triggered by hyper-connectivity and information asymmetry in contemporary trading applications. Grounded in the heuristics and biases theory, this study argues that digital platforms do not merely act as neutral facilitators, but actively serve as catalysts that exploit the bounded rationality of their users through cognitive overload and the absence of essential reflective pauses. The analysis of contemporary literature firmly rejects the classical assumption that conventional financial literacy education is adequate to mitigate these behavioral anomalies, considering that decision-making deviations operate at an instinctive and subconscious level. As a strategic implication and theoretical novelty, this research urges the deconstruction of the investor protection paradigm towards a behavior-centric transformation of choice architecture. Technology developers and regulators are required to integrate proactive digital nudging mechanisms and process accountability to transform applications from mere drivers of transaction velocity into systemic cognitive shields that effectively protect the financial stability of retail investors.

Abstract

This study systematically reviews the literature on cognitive bias and its influence on the quality of professional judgment in contemporary financial reporting practices. The review focuses on key areas of financial reporting judgment, including accounting estimates, accounting policy choices, and disclosure and materiality assessments. Using a Systematic Literature Review approach, this study analyzes 37 empirical articles published between 2020 and 2026 to synthesize evidence on behavioral influences in financial reporting contexts. The findings indicate that prior research predominantly concentrates on accounting estimates such as impairment, fair value measurement, provisions, and allowance estimation due to their inherent uncertainty and reliance on managerial discretion. Experimental research designs dominate the literature, reflecting a strong emphasis on individual level behavioral analysis, while survey and archival approaches remain comparatively limited. Across studies, anchoring bias, confirmation bias, overconfidence, and availability bias emerge as the most consistently identified cognitive distortions affecting financial reporting judgment, particularly under conditions of high estimation uncertainty, time pressure, and information complexity. This review highlights the growing relevance of behavioral perspectives in financial reporting research and underscores the importance of debiasing mechanisms and professional skepticism in enhancing judgment quality and reducing systematic decision making errors. The study contributes by providing an integrated synthesis of recent evidence and identifying directions for future research on behavioral influences in accounting practice
