Abstract

Corruption is an extraordinary crime which gives domino effect on government systems. The impacts include low economic growth and high poverty rate. Corruption enriches certain class only so that the budget which is allocated for the development of the country cannot be fully absorbed. Public service facilities for health, education, and administration cannot operate optimally due to the stalled building construction. To increase the economic growth of a country, a structured improvement is needed by involving the role of citizen in monitoring the government system. The development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) enhances the transparency of ongoing government systems and public services. Studies conducted by Qiang (2009) and Andersen (2009) showed that the implementation of ICT proved to be able to increase economic growth in developing and developed countries with an increase in GDP. Khan and Majeed (2019) also proved that the implementation of ICT and E-Government also increased GDP for Southeast Asian countries in the period 1980-2015. The ICT developments include e-government, big data analysis, blockchain technology, and whistleblowing systems. The implementation of ICT in government systems, such as licensing systems and procurement systems, provides increased transparency and quality so that economic growth also increases. It takes a lot of money to implement ICT in the government system, but it also becomes an opportunity for state officials to abuse their authority. An example of the use of ICT in Indonesia is the procurement of E-ID Cards. Therefore, the integrated whistleblowing system can be sought to guard the benefits of implementing ICT in increasing economic growth.

Abstract

Fraud risk management strategies can be carried out in three stages: prevention, detection, and response, but the most efficient stage is prevention. Fraud is part of operational risk which is defined as the risk of loss caused by the failure or inadequacy of internal processes, people, systems or technology, and external events. The perpetrators of fraud can also be analyzed using the fraud motivation model. This study aims to use the results of detection and response as input for the prevention stage using root cause analysis. This study uses the Risk Causal and Fraud Diamond (RCFD) Matrix as an analytical tool to determine the dominant root cause. This study uses 300 data samples and categorizes the root causes of fraud in the RCFD Matrix. The results show that there are three dominant root causes: 3.O System & Technology - Opportunity, 2.O Internal Process - Opportunity, and 1.P People - Pressure. These results provide recommendations for fraud prevention strategies to effectively reduce or eliminate the dominant root cause.

The number of research samples is 16 companies. The sampling technique used in the study is purposive sampling method. This study uses multiple linear regression analysis and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) assisted by the IBM SPSS 24 program. The results of this study show that deferred tax expense and managerial ownership haveno effect on earnings management, while tax planning has an effect on earnings management. Institutional ownership is not able to moderate the effect of deferred tax expense and managerial ownership on earnings management, but institutional ownership is able to moderate the effectof tax planning on earnings management. The limitation of this study is that the measurement technique used for earnings management is only accrual earnings management. In addition, researchers do not measure earnings management from real earnings management techniques so that the results obtained cannot explain the extent of deviations from normal business practices. The results of this study are expected to provide considerations for potential investors who wish to invest in a company so that they do not experience losses on their invested capital. Company managers are expected to be able to reconsider everything so that there will be no more fraud that can cause losses to the company and have a bad impact in the future.

Many anti-fraud programs have been attempted to counter these corrupt activities.

Therefore, by applying the OECD Integrity Management System as a framework and semi-structured interviews, this study provides an empirical studyat a strategic public institution.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of corporate governance, risk management, and compliance with applicable regulations on efforts to minimize the potential fraud based on the Fraud Pentagon concept. For companies engaged in financial service providers, the results of this study are expected to contribute to the implementation of governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) in order to minimize potential fraud and achieve the expected goals. Respondents used in this study are the employees of Bank Perkreditan Rakyat (BPR). Data are collected using interviews, observations, and questionnaires. Descriptive analysis, data quality analysis, and structural model analysis are used to test hypotheses with the application of STATA version 14. The results show that the variables of corporate governance and risk management have a significant effect on the efforts to minimize potential fraud, while the variable of compliance has no significant effect on the efforts to minimize potential fraud. Due to several factors, such as the small scope of BPR compared to conventional banks and the small number of employees, the implementation of GRC has not been achieved optimally.
