<![CDATA[Due to a lack of competency, including knowledge and experience, non-financial measurement skills are now required by auditors in order to prove fraud. As a result, this research aims to identify the gap between the practice requirements and the output of the audit training centre and the role of the forensic accounting curriculum in filling that gap. This research examines the best strategies for establishing competent and reliable auditing practice results. The non-participatory observation data mining method is used in this study. The study discovered that the auditing education and training centre had not taught and did not have a fraud prevention and detection curriculum based on non-financial measurement. As a result, this study recommends that Training Centre develop the audit curriculum in accordance with The International Education Standard. Furthermore, this study suggests that auditing education and training centres involve forensic accounting practitioners in team-teaching, particularly investigative audit topics.]]>

<![CDATA[Referring to ACFE Global’s in the year 2016 until 2018 RTTN, fraudulent financial statement detection is a typical frequency occurrence and gets a large median loss. This study’s purpose is to determine the perspective of the fraud triangle as measured by three elements where fraud occurs in financial statements and is proxied by earnings management. The population is chosen from banking industries that have been listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2018-2020. The research sample was 25 banks based on the purposive sampling method as criteria sampling. Objects found are 75 objects and hypothesis testing used binary logistic regression. The results show that the fraud triangle perspective simultaneously affects fraud on financial statements. But, partially only pressure factors as proxied by return on assets were shown to be significantly positive, while other pressure factors were financial stability, external pressures, the nature of the industry, effective monitoring with the measure by the independent commissioner, and the rationalization factor, measured by total accruals (TACC) have no significant. The fraud triangle measurement is only used in this research to detect fraud. In addition, very limited sample use because it only covers 4 years so it cannot provide sufficient confidence. It is important to ascertain and analyze fraud factors that can affect financial reporting to minimize fraud that occurs. Management must obtain the widest possible information for making the right decisions so that the triggers of fraud can be minimized and eliminated]]>

<![CDATA[The recognition of corporate governance as one of the solutions to scandal, fraud, and corruption has generated interest among scholars who seek to comprehend the underlying theoretical mechanism of corporate governance practices. Using scientific literature from the Web of Science and news media, this research attempts to probe the conceptual basis for corporate governance in preventing crimes in managing natural resources. Based on the theories of corporate governance, this study reviews the framework and elaborates the challenges of implementing the practices of corporate governance in reducing scandal, fraud, and corruption. Agency and stakeholder theories are mostly used to scrutinize the practice of doing good business. We also evaluate how news media serve as an effective avenue for the public to receive unbiased information. Some major corporate cases reported in news media have indeed provoked scholars to shed light on the role of corporate governance in the presence of the crisis.]]>

<![CDATA[Fraudulent practices such as corruption can lead losses and are one of the obstacles to achieving company goals. This has a lot to do with a lack of integrity. Integrity is a concept related to a commitment to comply with the ethics, values, and norms in society. The purpose of this study is to identifythe integrity disclosure in banking companies in Indonesia. The research method is content analysis based on information from the bank’s official website. The measurement uses the Integrity Framework Disclosure Index (IFDi) which includes 13 indicators with 47 disclosure items. Integrity disclosure measurement is conducted on 107 online websites of Indonesian banking companies that are registered in the Financial Services Authority (OJK). The results of this study indicate that integrity disclosure in banking companies in Indonesia is high with an average score of 37 out of 47 disclosure items, or 79.44%. The state-owned bank group has the highest integrity disclosure with an average score of 44.25 out of 47 disclosure items.]]>

<![CDATA[The purpose of this study is to examine fraud prevention in the village fund system using the metrics stated in Permendesa No.19 of 2020. SISKEUDES were formed by the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) to enhance village government and financial management. Internal control is an important component in mitigating the possibility of village money being misused. The qualitative descriptive approach was used to conduct the research at Marga Mulya Village. Data was collected through interviews and observations, and data triangulation was employed as an analytical tool. Internal control in the village financial system has been implemented fairly effectively, according to the study’s results and discussion, as internal control efforts have been applied to each indicator in Permendesa No.19 of 2020. However, there is still a risk of fraud because various internal control indications that have been created have not been followed up on in a timely and appropriate manner]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims“to determine the effect of tax planning accompanied by other variables, namely leverage and firm size, on earnings management. The research method is a descriptive and quantitative study using statistical techniques of multiple linear regression analysis. The population are “non-manufacturing companies in the infrastructure sector listed on the Indo-nesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2014-2018. Sample selection using the purposive sam-pling technique was obtained from 19 firms. The sources of data in this research are second-ary data. The results show that tax planning and company size affect earnings management. Vice versa, the variable leverage and interest rates don’t affect earnings management. Simul-taneously, leverage, tax planning, and company size significantly influence earnings manage-ment. What needs to be considered, taxpayers undertake a practice to reduce or minimize the tax burden to be paid to the state, often slipping into fraud such as tax evasion]]>

<![CDATA[This paper draws on the roles of Human Resource Management (HRM) in policing fraud by the Indonesian National Police (INP). The method of this study is a literature review and document analysis. This research finds that HRM has a role in policing fraud through 1) recruitment, 2) education, 2) use/development, 3) maintenance and 4) termination from the office. HRM is potentially essential for improving police professionalism. Further, the HRM success application may cause the success of bureaucracy and governance reform for corruption prevention in the INP. Moreover, operational policing fraud can be improved by reliable HRM practices. Next, this paper suggests a further empirical study to explore HRM in policing and its role in policing fraud.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to examine the determinants of budget fraud for handling COVID-19 in the city of Makassar. This study uses a survey method for data collection. The samples of this research are 171 employees who work in Local Government Organizations in Makassar City while the data analysis tool uses SMART PLS software.The results of this study indicate that the greater the pressure, opportunity, competence, and arrogance of a person, the greater the level of fraud that occurs in a country. However, different results were found on the rationalization variable that fraud that occurred in a country was not influenced by a person’s rationalization in justifying his actions. Moderation in this study shows that bureaucratic reform can weaken the relationship between pressure and opportunity for fraud. However, it strengthens the connection between justification, competence, and arrogance to the occurrence of fraud]]>

Transparency as accountability to all stakeholders as well as a supervisory effort to minimize fraudulent forms of financial management. One form of transparency is through the management of village websites. But in reality the village website has not been managed optimally. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the transparency of village financial management through websites in 280 villages that are within the scope of the Grobogan Regency area. The method used is qualitative research with a descriptive interpretation approach, namely observing, describing and interpreting objects and then drawing conclusions. Data collection based on content analysis regarding village management achievements. The results showed that the utilization of village websites in Grobogan Regency as a form of transparency had not been maximized.

<![CDATA[Trust is the basis of a person’s reciprocal relationship. Entrusting the management of a business to another party requires strong conviction and a clear agreement between the two parties because it is very vulnerable to fraudulent actions with various motives. This study uses a qualitative phenomenological approach that occurs, in the form of fraudulent acts with abuse of power, by analyzing the fraud triangle. Fraud behavior can be based on trust in the perpetrators of fraud which is used as an opportunity to commit fraud because there is no suspicion and even no control is carried out. The arrogance factor also encourages perpetrator to abuse the trust he has. Even the perpetrator of fraud confidently reports the business owners with allegations of embezzlement of funds as a form of self-defense for the fraud he has committed. This situation forces the business owners to change the director, strengthen internal control systems, and integrate simple technology as an effort to restore business and minimize fraud in the future]]>
