Financial statements generally aim to provide information about the company’s financial position, performance, and cash flows to the interested parties. The motivation to gain trust from the users, especially investors, shareholders and creditors, leads someone to commit fraud in the financial reporting.

Abstract

The traditions of Saemaul Undong and Gotong Royong are the cultures of South Korea and Indonesia which are considered providing added value to their local communities in restricting themselves from any corrupt behavior. Through discussions about the traditions of Saemaul Undong and Gotong Royong, this study aims to explore these two different cultures. This is intended to find the cultural values of local communities that have universal values. These values are then believed and used to deal with and prevent the corrupt behavior of the community. This study was conducted using qualitative method through comparative historical and literary approaches. From the literature review, it is found that pedagogy, cooperation, leadership, equality, and nationalism are values that support the community to have a noble attitude that is able to control someone to not commit corrupt actions. However, both South Korea and Indonesia must struggle to deal with the corrupt behavior that still occurs today.

Abstract

Corruption in Indonesia has been increasingly rampant, ranging from high-ranking state officials to lower-level civil servants. The strategic tasks mandated to civil servants have in fact provided opportunities for them to commit corruption. Based on data from Indonesian Corruption Watch (ICW), from 2013 to 2016, most corruptors work as civil servants. Based on this fact, there seems to be an alternative approach that should be more optimized, namely a cultural approach. Indonesia has many unique teachings, one of which is the Javanese philosophy of life (Javanese Wisdom). This study deals with the kualat teaching derived from the Javanese Wisdom as an attempt to prevent corruption among civil servants. This study tries to explain the noble advice in the Javanese society, particularly about kualat teaching. The researcher conducted a survey to Civil Servants to find out whether the kualat teaching still existed in the minds of civil servants. Finally, the researcher offers the idea of the need for internalization of the kualat teaching in the material content of Leadership Education and Training (Diklatpim) IV. The researcher seeks to actively participate in preventing corruption among civil servants.

Abstract

This paper discusses the evolution of fraud theory from time to time, starting from initial fraud theories, such as White-Collar Crime, Fraud Triangle, and Fraud Scale, to modern fraud theories, such as Fraud Diamond, M. I. C. E model and ABC analysis. Studying the evolution of fraud theory will be very helpful to prevent the occurrence fraud in the future. In addition, this paper also discusses the relevance of fraud theory and fraud prevention in the village government. Village fund can be the object of fraud because of its significant amount, lack of control, and conflict of interest of various parties. Modern fraud theories, such as Fraud Diamond, M. I. C. E model, and ABC analysis are used to analyze the possibility of who will be the perpetrators of fraud in the village government (who), why they commit fraud (why), and how to prevent fraud in the village government (how). Fraud theory analysis in the village fund management could be a foundation for related parties (village stakeholders) to make relevant policies as well as a basis to conduct village fund research in the future.

In the last two decades, the amount of data and facts released by international agencies such as Transparency International and The Political and Economic Risk Consultancy show this its entirety. This paper tries to describe the determinant aspect in eradicating corruption; how the strategy of eradicating corruption; and also recognizes the steps and strategies of corruption eradication experience in Singapore that can be “lesson-learned” by other countries especially Indonesia. Based on existing precedents and postulates, it can be concluded that an entry point for eradicating corruption in Singapore stems from strong political support (strong leadership) of party elites, government and society, as well as increased official incentives and public institutional reconstruction efforts.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Corruption has been a pervasive problem plaguing our country for a long time. On the other hand, raising community awareness and enhancing public participation have been acknowledged as part of the corruption prevention and eradication strategy in Indonesia for many years, especially since the enactment of 1999 Corruption Law. Nonetheless, public participation in the country seems to keep decreasing throughout the years, leaving corruption alone eroding every sector of society. For this reason, it is important to realize that the success level of public participation is highly related to the existing beliefs and values of people that are expected to be participating – the local wisdom. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of public participation in eradication of corruption, assess whether the local wisdom has been supporting the corruption eradication/prevention strategy, and finally conclude with a proposition to maximize the role of local wisdom in combatting corruption in Indonesia. To achieve that goal, delving into applicable laws, general principles of law, journals and books, cases and reports, as well as various surveys becomes very important to increase the knowledge and objectivity in thinking and analyzing. Two surveys were also conducted to Indonesian citizens with 328 respondents and 495 respondents, in order to see the real cultures and beliefs that are currently developing in Indonesian society. This research paper will reveal the current Indonesian local wisdom on the ground and its connection to the large strategy of corruption eradication at national level.

Abstract

The importance of using big accounting firm may depend on governance level in each company. If they have good corporate governance and have high concern on improving governance, the company may prefer to use big accounting firm (Lina & Liub 2009; and Houqe, Zijl, Dunstan, & Karim 2015). State-owned enteprise (“BUMN”) may have higher agency problem as their objective is people welfare but still profit-oriented. So, they have higher ability to defer the earning than other company. We include research sample of all BUMN which listed on Indonesia stock exchange (IDX) except those which participate in banking and financial industry (JASICA 8). By using discretionary accrual as proxy of lower earning quality and accounting firm size as proxy of audit quality, we found negative relationship between those variable. In other words, if the company want to improve their earning quality they should consider on usinge big accounting firm. In additional analysis, we found that big accounting firm able to reduce management intention to defer earning and tax expense. I encourage government of Indonesia (“the Government”)to advise BUMN to consider on using big accounting firm to improve earning quality and reduce fraudulent act through financial reporting by management.

Abstract

ABSTRACTThis study aims to show that budget policy is not only to strengthen defense equipment to the “minimum essential force”, but it should not be forgotten that budget policy also provide a multiplier effect on economic growth. The use of a good defense budget can be seen from the extent to which the budget affects the economic growth. This influence is tested by using a single equation of economic growth that is built from the supply side. Regression results of the quartile data of 1991-2010 show that the increase in the national defense budget turns out to have no effect on economic growth and gives negative externalities to the private sector. But, non-defense government budgets provide positive externalities to the private sector. This indicates that the non-defense budgets are able to provide a multiplier effect on the economy, but the defense budget has no effect on the economic sectors directly. So, the defense budget policies must give effect to the national economy, such as increased production with the development of the defense industry to meet the domestic needs of defense equipment.

Abstract

The increasingly rampant corruption in Indonesia requires creative countermeasures. One way is to assimilate the law with the local culture of a region. The local culture concerned is ludruk. Ludruk, as one of Javanese traditional art performances, is admired by its fans or supporters in East Java and can be used as a means to proclaim everything about corruption. It can be concluded that the assimilation of the law with the local culture of a region is not contrary to the law but it is becoming a media in eradicating corruption. Anti-corruption teaching can be delivered through ludruk as long as it remains in accordance with the nature of ludruk itself.

Abstract

An understanding of the values of local wisdom as one of the most important elements in preventing corrupt behavior should be encouraged and introduced to today’s generation, given that the current generation’s behavior has slowly abandoned the ancestral heritage that is full of meaning and content in life. All cultures certainly teach goodness to the people, especially the younger generation, but unfortunately they often fail to understand and even abandon the cultures, which in turn, their behaviors become uncontrollable. Their actions tend to drift from noble values. Some of the values of local wisdom studied in this paper include respecting the neighbors, avoiding and reconciling conflicts, appreciating others’ work and services, and gathering property in the right way
