Abstract

This research investigates Benford’s Law as a statistical instrument to detect financial fraud and errors. Benford's Law, also known as the First-Digit Law, states that lesser digits, specifically '1', frequently appear as the leading digit in numerous numerical datasets, and deviations from this distribution may indicate potential financial irregularities. This research examines literature demonstrating the application and efficacy of Benford’s Law in identifying numerical inconsistencies indicative of financial misconduct. This research investigates the use of Benford’s Law as a tool of detecting error and fraudulent activities within the sales data of two branches during 2022. A comprehensive dataset of 3098 records from Bandung and 539 records from Surabaya was collected after excluding certain data points that exhibited abnormalities. The application of Benford's statistical test discovered a discrepancy between the Benford probability and the observed probability, suggesting the presence of possible errors and frauds. The audit findings unveiled anomalies in pricing and instances of fraudulent activities in both locations, primarily due to pricing discrepancies and incorrect price inputs from sales orders. Furthermore, instances of fraud involved the manipulation of set prices for personal gain by salesmen. The results affirmed the hypothesis that a larger deviation between Benford’s probability and the observed probability corresponded with a higher incidence of error and fraud. However, it observes that Benford’s Law is not a stand-alone solution for detecting fraud, as not all financial datasets conform to it and deviations from the law only indicate the possibility of fraud, not confirm it. Therefore, the research suggests using Benford’s Law in conjunction with other data analysis and auditing techniques to conduct a comprehensive investigation. The conclusion of research emphasizes the significance of Benford’s Law in the field of forensic accounting and the need for multidimensional strategies for effective error and fraud detection.

Abstract

This research evaluated the low attendance of members during weekly group meetings at Permodalan Nasional Madani (PNM) Mekaar in Solo. This research aims to determine the factors that inhibit group members from attending weekly group meetings and identify policies taken by PNM Mekaar to ensure weekly group meetings stay active. Purposive sampling was used to select the research subjects, who must have joined PNM Mekaar at least since 2020, be registered as customers at PNM Mekaar, be registered as employees at PNM Mekaar for at least six months, and have agreed to participate in the research. Based on the findings, internal and external factors contributed to the problem of group members who had to attend weekly group meetings. These internal factors included less friendly account officers, no ceremonial weekly group meetings, weekly group meetings starting to focus solely on instalments, overworked account officers, new account officers still in training, high member turnover within three months, senior account officers and account officers not outlining key points of the cooperation agreement, and PT PNM Mekaar delegating the responsibility of customer education to the group leader. Meanwhile, other external factors, which include customers’ busy schedules and the laziness of some customers after years of paying instalments, prevent group members from attending weekly group meetings. PNM Mekaar's policy of delegating customer evaluation to its officers allows the weekly group meetings to operate as usual.

Abstract

Nowadays, mainstream scientific research activities have been carried out using two methods or approaches, the first is quantitative (positivistic) by testing hypotheses as evidence and the second is qualitative (post-positivistic) by analyzing case studies, phenomena to measure the depth of formal aspects in assessing subjective events that occur in the field. This research provides a thorough understanding to identify the differences between positivistic and post-positivistic lines of thought and review the mutual combination of positivistic thinking with qualitative-based research activities which tend to be at odds. This research was conducted through library research method. Reference sources are obtained from books, journals and other relevant references. The results of this research indicate that positivistic thinking of thought does not tend to be an obstacle to conduct a qualitative research. This is proven by the emergence of several theories that can be used as analytical tools to provide additional references to support the validity of data collection in the field.

Abstract

This community service aims to improve the status of a “waste bank” for Small and Medium Enterprises (UMKM). Therefore, preparation was needed, such as evaluating financial statement, then conducting training on compiling financial statement for Small and Medium Enterprises (UMKM). Fikriyyah, S. F., & AdiWibowo (2018; 703) state that a “waste bank” forms a community service that cares for the environment and is expected to increase the income. Thus, the existence of a “waste bank” does not significantly affect household income because the average monthly revenue was about 0.4 % to 0.68%. Therefore, the target of the community service was to evaluate the financial statements of “waste bank” adjusting by compiling financial statement for Small And Medium Enterprises, known as UMKM in Indonesia. Furthermore, this community service has been carried out multi-year, which will continue with entrepreneurship training and preparation for establishing a Small And Medium Enterprises (UMKM) to the “waste bank”.
