This study aims to explain and reconstruct the notion of auditor professionalism beyond the reasoning framework found in the accountants’ code of ethics. The reconstruction is carried out by redefining auditor professionalism through the integration of moral reasoning and the values derived from QS. Al-Isra (36), as a response to the issue of fraud disclosure. The research adopts a non-technical perspective on auditor professionalism. Accordingly, the appropriate method for this study is Theoretical Triangulation, namely testing auditor professionalism from the perspective of moral reasoning and QS. Al-Isra (36). Specifically, the research begins by utilizing three sources of values: the Handbook of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, principles of moral reasoning, and the guidance in QS. Al-Isra (36). Second, the study identifies the limitations of conventional interpretations of auditor professionalism when examined solely from ethical codes, and further analyzes how moral reasoning and QS. Al-Isra (36) enrich this perspective. Third, the concept of auditor professionalism is reconstructed in a holistic manner. Finally, the study concludes whether moral reasoning and QS. Al-Isra (36) are interrelated with the auditors’ professionalism in uncovering fraud. Ultimately, this article proposes a revised conception of auditor professionalism. By incorporating moral reasoning and QS. Al-Isra (36), auditor professionalism is envisioned as transcending rationalism and materialism. It is defined as a commitment to uphold the accountants’ code of ethics, grounded in justice and virtue, with an awareness that every action will be held accountable in the hereafter.

The rapid expansion of digital technologies has intensified financial misinformation and disinformation, particularly through illegal online loans and online gambling targeting communities with limited digital and financial literacy. This community engagement program in Dusun Munggur, Girimulyo Village, aimed to strengthen residents’ ability to identify and respond to deceptive digital practices through contextualized education on risk indicators, manipulative design strategies, and verification methods. Using a three-hour interactive socialization combining visuals, discussion, and a short comprehension exercise, the program improved participants’ understanding of how fraudulent financial schemes operate and how personal data, behavioral triggers, and algorithmic amplification are exploited. Participants demonstrated greater awareness of suspicious platforms, increased confidence in evaluating online offers, and requested sustained resources such as booklets and reporting guides for household- and community-level prevention. Although effective in raising immediate awareness, the intervention was limited by the lack of long-term behavioral assessment and the rapidly evolving nature of digital fraud. The program underscores the importance of community-centered, preventive literacy to mitigate digital financial risks in rural Indonesia.

Keywords: Sharia Accounting, QS Al-Jumu'ah Verses 9-10, Fraud, Islamic Business Ethics.

This study examines in depth the risk factors influencing financial statement fraud in the Indonesian banking sector by employing the Fraud Hexagon framework. This framework comprises six core elements—pressure, opportunity, rationalization, capability, arrogance, and collusion—each representing potential drivers of fraudulent behavior. The study also aims to assess whether institutional investor involvement can serve as a moderating factor capable of reducing the likelihood of fraud. The research uses secondary data derived from the annual reports of banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2020–2023. Logistic regression analysis is employed to examine the relationships between the Fraud Hexagon variables and financial statement fraud, as well as to test the moderating role of institutional ownership. The findings reveal that, among the six elements of the Fraud Hexagon, only auditor changes (representing rationalization) and political connections (representing collusion) have a significant effect on financial statement fraud. The other elements—pressure, opportunity, capability, and arrogance—do not show a significant impact. Furthermore, institutional investor involvement is found not to moderate the relationship between the Fraud Hexagon elements and financial statement fraud, indicating that external monitoring through institutional ownership remains ineffective in the context of Indonesian banking. These results underscore the importance of closer supervision of rationalization and collusion factors, as well as the need for stronger internal control mechanisms to prevent fraudulent financial reporting. The study’s findings are expected to provide valuable insights for regulators, banking management, and other stakeholders in their efforts to enhance fraud prevention measures in the financial sector.  

This study was conducted with the aim of exploring how the influence of forensic accounting and whistleblowing system as a mechanism in detecting and revealing allegations of corruption in the company. This research uses a systematic literature review method by analyzing ten academic journal articles published in 2020-2025 that discuss fraud prevention and disclosure, especially in corruption cases. The results of this study state that forensic accounting has proven effective in detecting various forms of corruption fraud, such as conflicts of interest, gratuities, and abuse of authority, especially if applied by auditors or forensic accountants who have expertise in financial analysis and applicable regulations. Meanwhile, the whistleblowing system allows fraud reporting to be done anonymously with safe protection, and encourages transparency in the organization. However, this research also shows that the two are not always aligned. When the whistleblowing system is effective but forensic accounting is not well implemented, the investigation process is not maximized. Conversely, even if forensic accounting is strong, a weak whistleblowing system can hinder early detection and slow down action against corruption cases.

The management of village funds in Indonesia is a crucial issue due to the high potential for fraud at the village level, despite the fact that the funds distributed each year continue to increase.

However, it is able to moderate the effect of internal control on fraud prevention.

Organizational fraud represents a significant global challenge, with estimated annual losses of 5% of revenue, totaling approximately US$4.7 trillion worldwide. This systematic literature review examines whistleblowing effectiveness as a fraud detection mechanism, analyzing the tension between its role as a transparency pillar and the retaliatory risks faced by whistleblowers. The study employed a qualitative Systematic Literature Review methodology, analyzing 25 peer-reviewed articles published between 2020-2025 from SINTA, Scopus, and registered E-ISSN journals. Literature was selected using keywords related to whistleblowing effectiveness, fraud detection, transparency mechanisms, and retaliation risk. Results demonstrate that whistleblowing systems significantly enhance fraud detection and prevention across both public and private sectors, with 24 of 25 reviewed studies confirming positive impacts. Effectiveness is influenced by individual attitudes, perceived behavioral control, organizational commitment, professional commitment, moral reasoning, and organizational culture. The integration of whistleblowing with forensic and investigative audit mechanisms creates a mutually reinforcing fraud detection framework. However, retaliation risk remains a substantial challenge, potentially undermining whistleblowing effectiveness. The study concludes that organizations must develop comprehensive whistleblower protection frameworks, cultivate supportive organizational cultures, ensure transparent report handling processes, and leverage technology to guarantee anonymity. A balanced approach between promoting transparency through whistleblowing and protecting whistleblowers from retaliation is essential for maximizing fraud detection effectiveness. Organizations are advised to integrate whistleblowing into comprehensive anti-fraud strategies with adequate protection mechanisms and whistleblower incentives.
