Transparency as accountability to all stakeholders as well as a supervisory effort to minimize fraudulent forms of financial management.

Therefore, this study aims to analyze the transparency of village financial management through websites in 280 villages that are within the scope of the Grobogan Regency area. The method used is qualitative research with a descriptive interpretation approach, namely observing, describing and interpreting objects and then drawing conclusions. Data collection based on content analysis regarding village management achievements. The results showed that the utilization of village websites in Grobogan Regency as a form of transparency had not been maximized. The lack of transparency is due to the lack of information provided, and many websites only provide tools with no content in them, thereby triggering a possible decrease in public and other stakeholders’ trust in village management

Abstract

However, the good role of cooperatives in supporting the national economy has not been realized properly. Cases of fraud still often occur in the process of managing cooperative funds which have an impact on the sustainability of cooperatives and stakeholders. In every case of fraud there must be motives behind it. This study aims to identify the potential for fraud and its motives at “Dana” Cooperative in X Village, Y Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. The data used in this study are primary data, obtained through Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and interviews, and secondary data from supporting documents.

Abstract

Trust is the basis of a person’s reciprocal relationship. Entrusting the management of a business to another party requires strong conviction and a clear agreement between the two parties because it is very vulnerable to fraudulent actions with various motives. This study uses a qualitative phenomenological approach that occurs, in the form of fraudulent acts with abuse of power, by analyzing the fraud triangle. Fraud behavior can be based on trust in the perpetrators of fraud which is used as an opportunity to commit fraud because there is no suspicion and even no control is carried out. The arrogance factor also encourages perpetrator to abuse the trust he has. Even the perpetrator of fraud confidently reports the business owners with allegations of embezzlement of funds as a form of self-defense for the fraud he has committed. This situation forces the business owners to change the director, strengthen internal control systems, and integrate simple technology as an effort to restore business and minimize fraud in the future

Abstract

Cybercrime is on the rise both at the national and cross-border levels. The latest mode of cybercrime is fraud using Business Email Compromise (BEC). A qualitive analysis method with literature study is applied to discuss two key questions of this paper. First, how does the BEC scheme occur?. Second, how an organization/company can prevent/mitigate the risk of BEC fraud. This paper concludes that BEC can be executed in the form of phishing emails sent by perpetrators (both internal and external actors of the organization) to the target victim (organization’s employees) in order to deceive and obtain financial gain. Various efforts can be made by an organization/company to prevent the risk of BEC fraud, among others in the form of implementing a risk management system, implementing an information security management system, and increasing the organization’s internal awareness.

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

Abstract

The rapid development of technology provides us with a lot of data that can be used for various purposes, such as fraud risk management. Data analytics should be the basis for anti-fraud activities related to prevention and detection processes. This study aims to elaborate on the data analytics used in developing fraud red flags based on historical reports. By applying anomaly data analytics and demographic profiles of fraudsters, this study finds that performance anomalies contribute 68% to fraud, while 3 to 10 years of service without career advancement can trigger motivation to commit fraud. Finally, the paper recommends that data analytics should be followed by human approaches such as lifestyle audits and career advancement programs. Further research is expected to be able to complement other parameters for data analysis and use statistical methods to obtain more accurate results.

Abstract

The extraordinary effect of the Covid-19 outbreak, which pushes society and government to deal with a new normal in the face of situation uncertainty, raises the risk of fraud. The goal of this study is to predict and explain the effect of audit expertise, independence, and professional skepticism on fraud detection, with time pressure acting as a moderating variable. This inquiry employed the explanatory approach. The population comprises of BPK RI (The Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia) and BPKP (Finance and Development Supervisory Agency) auditors from South Kalimantan Province, and the samples include 85 respondents. Surveys are used to collect data. The data suggest that audit knowledge and professional skepticism have a positive influence on fraud detection; independence has no effect on fraud detection; and time constraint has no effect on fraud detection.
