This research is a type of qualitative descriptive research by measuring the principle of transparency with several indicators, specifically: availability and accessibility of documents, clarity and completeness of information, process openness, and a regulatory framework that ensures transparency. Data obtained by interview, documentation in the form of financial statements, and direct observation in the process of financial management. The results show that the principle of transparency has been implemented in the process of managing financial receipts.

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted almost all socio-economic and business aspects. Changes in interaction patterns and a decrease in income lead to a higher potential for fraud risk. Management needs to take effective ways to mitigate fraud, especially fraud prevention as the most efficient strategy. This paper aims to explore and manage new challenges in terms of fraud risk related to the Fraud Triangle in non-digital financing companies. Using a quantitative approach, this study examines the effect of integrity and fraud awareness on fraud prevention according to the perception of the fraud detection team. 67 samples were collected and processed through PLS regression. The results show that R2 value is 0.592; integrity t-score is 3.315, p-value is 0.001; Fraud Awareness t-score is 2.119, p-value is 0.0341. Thus, integrity and fraud awareness have a positive and significant effect on fraud prevention in non-digital financing companies. However, there are some limitations that need to be investigated further, such as measurements for other fraud prevention strategies, other financial institutions, and other business industries that have been negatively affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Abstract

This study aims to detect the risk of fraud in the financial statements and ongoing fraud prevention measures if there are irregularities in the financial statements. The issue of earnings management in the financial statements of PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk by significantly increasing profits has raised a lot of suspicion and greatly harmed many parties, especially investors who invested in this company. The analysis was carried out using the fraud triangle variable and by asking for opinions from experts in their respective fields or professions related to fraud, such as auditors, accounting staff and employees who assist in the presentation of financial statements. The sample included 30 respondents. The calculation of financial ratios was done by calculating the ratio of liquidity, profitability, and solvency to detect fraud risk. The results of the analysis of fraud detection during the 2017-2019 period showed that there was an indication of markups on the company’s capital and profits in 2019. During those three years there was a decline in the company’s performance including its effectiveness in paying its short-term debt. This is in line with the opinion of auditors and users of financial statements who have predicted fraud and profit markups in the financial statements.

Abstract

Whistleblowing is an incredibly effective method of preventing and identifying fraud. Indeed, a variety of circumstances contribute to an employee’s choice to file a whistle-blower complaint. The goal of this research is to illustrate the effect of perceived danger severity and perceived wrongdoing severity on whistleblowing intention using emotion as a moderator. This research used a quantitative approach. The major source of data was questionnaires issued to workers at a variety of businesses. A total of 207 samples were taken. In our investigation, we used SEM-PLS. Threat perception has an impact on negative mood and has a detrimental effect on whistleblowing intention, according to the research. Whereas the perceived gravity of misbehaviour improves one’s mood and raises the possibility of whistleblowing.

Abstract

The era of digital transformation requires management and auditors to apply data analytics. This era also increases the risk of procurement fraud. This study aims to determine the application of data analytics in handling the risk of procurement fraud in the 4.0 era. Quantitative methods are applied with data analytics techniques to 2018 provincial tender data. The results show that descriptive statistical techniques can reveal the profile of collusion risk attributes. The average provincial construction tender in 2018 indicates a risk of collusion above 50% for the high price attribute. The visualization technique produces a tender collusion risk dashboard. There are 3 provincial LPSEs detected to meet the combined risk indications of collusion. The level of likelihood of collusion risk in the 3 provinces also shows “almost certain to occur” or with a value of 5. The results of this study have implications for data analytics which are very important to be immediately applied in government procurement to manage the risk of procurement fraud.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

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
