Abstract

The Whistleblowing is a powerful tool for detecting fraud. However, according to the 2024 Corruption Perception Index, Indonesia’s score has declined significantly compared to previous years, showing no signs of a full recovery. This, suggesting a weak intention to whistleblow in Indonesia. This study aims to identify factors contributing to this weakness using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method. The research considers both intrinsic and extrinsic factors, represented by rationalization, fear of retaliation, reward/punishment systems, work environment, and internal system responsiveness. The findings reveal that fear of reprisals, the work environment, and internal system responsiveness significantly influence whistleblowing intention.

Abstract

This research aims to identify the factors that shape an honest and ethical culture in the context of fraud prevention. It is important to conduct this research as unethical and dishonest incidents often occur all over the world. The sampling technique was conducted on employees currently working and with work experience in Indonesia, resulting in 200 respondents. Data analysis was performed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The results of this study found that only the tone at the top and effective reward and punishment significantly influenced the formation of an honest and ethical culture. Meanwhile, proper employee recruitment, communication of expectations, and a positive work environment did not significantly impact. This research contributes to stakeholders, especially management considerations, to form an honest and ethical culture within a company.

Abstract

Notwithstanding rigorous oversight in the Indonesian capital market, the manipulation of financial reports continues to occur. This study examines the potential for employing machine learning (ML) models, which utilize linguistic features and financial ratios, in effectively detecting deception or manipulation. Drawing upon publicly listed Indonesian companies as the samples, this research validates the predictive capabilities of the Beneish M-Score, confirms the occurrence of negative language in fraudulent reports, and demonstrates the superiority of the Gradient Boosting ML model in identifying anomalies within financial and textual data. The study distinctively adapts to Indonesian-language annual reports, thereby addressing a gap in the linguistic-based fraud detection literature. These findings not only advance our comprehension of how linguistic features and financial ratios provide practical tools for fraud detection, thereby preparing the academic and professional community in this domain.

Abstract

This study systematically examines the intellectual structure of accounting fraud research, identifying key trends, gaps, and opportunities to guide future scholarly and practical efforts in fraud detection and prevention. Using bibliometric analysis, we evaluate 193 Scopus-indexed articles (1993–2024) with R-Studio, VOSviewer, and Excel to map influential authors, keyword networks, citation trends, and collaboration patterns. The field gained momentum post-2016, with the United State dominating research output. However, studies remain siloed most focus on fraud detection rather than prevention, and minimal cross-author collaboration exists. Keyword analysis reveals evolving themes, yet few explore accounting techniques as proactive fraud deterrents. The study relies on Scopus data, potentially excluding relevant non-indexed works. Additionally, bibliometric analysis emphasizes trends over in-depth theoretical critique. Practitioners gain a consolidated view of fraud research, while researchers can leverage identified gaps, particularly in prevention strategies to design impactful studies. Policymakers may use findings to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration. This is among the first bibliometric reviews to systematically assess accounting fraud literature, offering a visual and analytical roadmap for future innovation in fraud prevention. By highlighting understudied areas, it challenges researchers to move beyond detection toward actionable solutions.

Abstract

Corruption is defined as an extraordinary crime by law because it has a detrimental impact and causes public condemnation. Data trends show an increase in corruption cases in Indonesia every year by 32% over the past five years, both in cases and perpetrators, including in electricity sector companies. The electricity business, with its inherent business environment, is one of the most vulnerable sectors. This study aims to examine personal behavioral factors, in accordance with research conducted by Albrecht, which greatly influence corruption in electricity business organizations. This study uses a causal associative approach to obtain the ten most expected personal behavioral factors based on expert assessments, which are then evaluated by internal auditors who are employees of electricity business organizations. Furthermore, the results of the study are validated to determine the factors that significantly influence corruption using the t-test method with a significance threshold of ? <0.05. The test results show that high personal debt, excessive lifestyle, and sales behavior significantly influence corruption. Based on the results of this study, electricity business organizations can develop their internal controls by considering these factors to prevent corruption.

Abstract

Digital banking has become one of the fastest-growing techno-logical advances in the banking sector. This study aims to analyze the relationship between cybersecurity awareness, knowledge, and behavior among digital banking users in Salatiga City. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 200 respondents and analyzed with SmartPLS 4. The results show that cybersecurity knowledge has a significant positive influence on both awareness and behavior. Awareness also directly affects behavior. However, awareness does not significantly mediate the relationship between knowledge and behavior. This implies that while awareness is important, knowledge plays a more dominant role in shaping users’ cybersecurity behavior. This study contributes to the banking industry by providing insights to enhance user cybersecurity through targeted education and awareness programs. Additionally, it enriches the academic literature on cybersecurity behavior in the context of digital banking users, particularly in developing regions. Future research is encouraged to explore other influencing factors such as motivation, perceived risk, or institutional support.

Abstract

This paper aims to develop and test methods to detect organized crime, fraud syndicates, and Money Laundering schemes within an e-wallet ecosystem. Analytical An analyticalprocess framework combining Graph Analytics and Supervised Learning is developed and trained with sample spaces of fraud and non-fraud. The pipeline utilized Heterogeneous Graph Transformation (HGT), Graph Statistics (Centrality Measures and Community Detection), and a Gradient Boosting Model to produce models for the detection of fraud syndicate syndicatesand organized crime. Welch’s t-test is employed to infer variance differences between samples. Findings confirm the hypothesis that fraud networks are markedly different, exhibiting a more centralized and isolated network compared to the organic, interconnected behaviors of non-fraudulent users. Fraud networks are further characterized by multiple isolated clusters, indicating distinctive groups or behaviors. The proposed method can provide validated methods of fraud and money laundering detection, especially for financial decision-makers and policymakers, to enhance fraud detection systems by improving the protection, integrity, and security of customers and digital transactions.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of investigative auditing in detecting and disclosing fraud by identifying red flags within the context of increasing public scrutiny and expectation gaps in audit functions. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) combined with bibliometric analysis, the research utilizes Scopus-indexed journal articles published between 2015 and 2025, with the support of the Watase Uake platform to ensure structured article selection and keyword visualization. The study is grounded in the Expectation Gap Theory and Fraud Diamond Theory to analyze both behavioral and systemic dimensions of fraud. The findings reveal that although red flags such as lifestyle indicators and behavioral anomalies are widely acknowledged in fraud detection, current literature tends to focus more on traditional audit procedures than on the specific functions of investigative audits. Bibliometric mapping also highlights a concentration of studies around general fraud detection, with fewer focusing on the practical applications of investigative auditing. This paper provides novel insights by integrating theoretical analysis with bibliometric evidence, offering a clearer understanding of research gaps and future directions in investigative audit studies. The study adds value by reinforcing the importance of strengthening investigative audit capabilities and aligning them more closely with stakeholder expectations and the evolving nature of fraud.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to evaluate the impact of internal control on fraud tendencies. This research uses a meta-analysis approach by reviewing comparable previous studies. This study invloves 20 previous studies published from 2017 to 2021 with themes related to the effect of internal control systems on fraud tendencies as the research sample. The aim of using the most recently published research is to maximize the effectiveness of this research. The JASP (Jaffreys Amazing Statistical Application) and Microsoft Excel programs are used to process the data in the meta-analysis. The outcome show that internal control system has a negative and significant effect on fraud tendencies. This is consistent with the theory and results of previous studies which show that the more effective the internal control system is implemented, the less likely fraud to occur in organizations. Therefore, based on the findings of this study, businesses and governmental organizations must have internal control systems in place to lessen the likelihood of fraud
