This study aims to examine the role of internal control and whistleblowing system in fraud prevention through a literature review appoarch. The background of this study is based on the persistenly high incidence of fraud cases that arise due to the suboptimal monitoring system and minimal compliance with applicable regulations in the organizations. Technique used is a literature review by examining varios relevant previous studies published between 2021-2025, obtained from google scholar. The result of the review indicate a significant correlation between internal control and whisteblowing system in efforts to prevent fraud in organizations in Indonesia. Internal control has a positive effect on fraud prevention efforts. Meanwhile, the whistleblowing system serves as a secure reporting mechanism, although several previuos studies show inconsistent result regarding its influence. The implication of this study highlights the importance of implementing effective internal control supported by an optimal whistleblowing system to enhance fraud prevention efforts within an organization.

This study examines the impact of Pentagon Fraud factors on FSF, with WBS as a moderation variable, focusing on Indonesian State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) from 2021 to 2024. The Pentagon’s Fraud Theory encompasses five key elements: pressure, opportunity, rationalization, competence, and arrogance, each of which is represented by financial stability, ineffective monitoring, the quality of auditors, the experience of directors, and CEO pictures. This study aims to determine how these factors affect financial reporting that contains fraud, and whether WBS can strengthen or weaken the relationship between the two. Using a quantitative approach with secondary data from the annual reports of 104 SOEs, thisi study applied panel data regression method. FSF was measured using the Beneish M-Score, while the effect of moderation was tested through moderated regression analysis. The results of this study are expected to provide deeper insights into the dynamics of fraud in the public sector and highlight the importance of WBS as a governance tool in reducing the risk of fraud. The study contributes to the previous literature by integrating a comprehensive fraud framework and testing it with moderation mechanisms, while also focusing on specific institutional contexts (SOEs), which have not been explicity explored in previous studies.

Corruption in Indonesia has become a systemic and complex issue, posing a threat to economic, social, and political stability. Despite various efforts, including the establishment of the Corruption Eradication Commission and robust law enforcement, Indonesia’s Corruption Perception Index has remained stagnant or declined in recent years. This is primarily due to the inadequacy of conventional audit methods, which struggle to detect complex and hidden corruption schemes. This study examines how the role of investigative audits by the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) can be optimized through synergy with the Whistleblowing System (WBS) to enhance corruption eradication efforts in Indonesia. Investigative audits, which focus on detecting fraud, are crucial as they can convert audit evidence into legal proof in corruption cases. However, the BPK’s role is often hindered by limited human resources, independence, and weak coordination. Using qualitative research and a literature review, this study analyzes relevant documents, books, scientific journals, and official reports to identify and classify relevant data. The findings indicate that strong synergy between BPK's investigative audits and the WBS is essential. Optimizing these two instruments requires significant reforms, including strengthening whistleblower protection laws, improving inter-agency collaboration, and fostering a robust anti-corruption culture. The study concludes that BPK’s investigative audits are effective in uncovering state losses, but their success depends on follow-up actions and coordination with law enforcement. The WBS can detect corruption early, but its effectiveness is limited by weak whistleblower protection and lack of trust in internal reporting channels.

Trade Secrets are a form of Intellectual Property that provide protection for confidential information owned by a legal subject. While Trade Secret protection offers benefits for individuals in running a business, it can also be misused to conceal legal violations. This research aims to identify how Trade Secret regulations in Indonesia provide protection for individuals who disclose Trade Secrets in the public interest, as well as to examine the urgency of such regulation by comparing the provisions of the Indonesian Trade Secret Law with Directive (EU) 2016/943. This study employs a normative juridical method with a comparative approach. The researcher conducts a literature study by comparing the Indonesian Trade Secret Law with Directive (EU) 2016/943 and relevant legal theories. The results show that the current regulation of whistleblowing on Trade Secrets for the public interest in Indonesian positive law remains very limited. There is an urgent need to expand protection for individuals who disclose Trade Secrets in the public interest. Indonesia may use Directive (EU) 2016/943 as a reference to broaden the provisions of its Trade Secret Law, in order to ensure the protection of public interest without disregarding the rights of Trade Secret holders.

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. In Sojol Subdistrict, Donggala Regency, cases of corruption involving village officials show that even though regulations have been established, practices in the field are still prone to irregularities that directly impact the welfare of the village community. This study aims to examine the influence of moral sensitivity, whistleblowing systems, official competence, and organizational culture on fraud prevention in village fund management. This study uses a quantitative approach, with data collected through a questionnaire distributed to 54 respondents consisting of village officials and members of the Village Council (BPD). The results of this study indicate that moral sensitivity, whistleblowing systems, official competence, and organizational culture simultaneously have a significant impact on fraud prevention in village fund management, although the level of influence of each varies. This underscores the importance of moral integrity and reporting systems, as well as strengthening competence and organizational culture at the village level.

Namely, 42% of frauds are detected by complaints (tips). Research comparing theory and empirical evidence on private entities in Indonesia is quite minimal. This research aims to prove the influence of an ethical code on the risk of asset misappropriation through whistleblowing intentions. The population of this study are employees of medium-scale entities in Jabodetabek and East Java. The sampling method used is purposive. The sample for this research is companies located in Jabodetabek and East Java with employees ranging from 70 to 150 people. This research uses primary data, namely a questionnaire. The researcher tested the validity and reliability of the data through a pilot test. If these two conditions are already met, the data then being analyzed further using path analysis. The data must also meet classical assumptions and linearity testing in path analysis testing. The researcher tested the direct influences using Ordinary Least Square. Meanwhile, the Sobel Test was used to test the indirect influence of the research variables. The Sobel Test results show that whistleblowing intention is proven to mediate the influence of the ethical code on the risk of asset misappropriation. The mediating effect of whistleblowing intention is partial. Whistleblowing intention as a mediator variable has been proven in this research, in line with various previous studies. Because it is proven to mediate partially, the novelty in this research is apart from being a mediator variable, whistleblowing intentions can also be an independent variable, with the risk of asset misappropriation as the dependent variable.

Corporate crime within PT Permodalan Nasional Madani (PNM) Palu Branch reflects the vulnerability of state-owned financial institutions to practices of abuse of authority and violation of the law by internal elements. This case caused state losses and damaged public trust. This research aims to analyze the criminal sanctions and obstacles faced by law enforcement officials in cracking down on corporate crime, as well as formulating solutions for handling it. This research uses a normative juridical approach with the support of empirical data from cases in the Palu District Attorney's Office. The results show that criminal sanctions against individual perpetrators have been applied, but have not yet touched on aspects of institutional corporate responsibility. The main obstacles in law enforcement include limited evidence, the complexity of the organizational structure, the apparatus' lack of understanding of corporate law, and external pressures that interfere with the independence of the investigation. Suggestions include the need to increase the capacity of investigators in forensic audit and corporate law, strengthening the internal monitoring and whistleblowing system at PNM, and collaboration between law enforcement agencies. Thus, law enforcement against corporate crime can be carried out more effectively, fairly, and able to prevent the recurrence of similar crimes in the future.

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.

Fraud in the government sector is a serious issue that can threaten the stability and efficiency of governance. This study aims to analyze the role of internal government auditors in mitigating fraud risk. The method used is a literature review with a qualitative descriptive approach, examining 10 relevant journals. The results indicate that internal auditors play a crucial role in detecting and preventing fraud by thoroughly examining internal control weaknesses and utilizing modern technology such as Whistleblowing Systems. The effectiveness of internal audits is supported by strong leadership and high awareness of fraud risks, as well as appropriate structural reform policies. The study concludes that effective internal auditing is essential in enhancing transparency and accountability and recommends the need for comparative analysis across regions to evaluate the diversity of internal audit practices. Additionally, further research is needed to explore the impact of information technology and Whistleblowing Systems in fraud prevention, as well as the role of leadership and organizational culture in supporting the internal audit function.

This study aims to analyze the role of forensic audit, proactive fraud audit, good corporate governance (GCG), financial reporting compliance, organizational culture, human resource (HR) competency, and whistleblowing system in preventing fraud. The method used is a literature review with data sources from academic literature, scientific journals, and reliable reports. The results of the analysis show that forensic audit is effective in identifying and resolving fraud cases through in-depth investigations of the organization's financial system. Proactive fraud audit supports early detection by analyzing potential risks before violations occur. Good GCG implementation increases transparency and accountability, while compliance with financial reporting helps maintain data integrity and prevents manipulation. An organizational culture that prioritizes ethics and integrity, as well as adequate HR competency, creates a strong foundation to minimize the risk of fraud. In addition, a safe and confidential whistleblowing system allows for fearless reporting of violations, thereby strengthening early detection. The combination of these factors forms a comprehensive and effective approach to preventing fraud, providing significant benefits to organizations in building stakeholder trust and maintaining the sustainability of their operations .

Whistleblowing is a vital mechanism for exposing unethical practices and ensuring accountability in organizations. This systematic literature review explores the interplay between the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) and social influence factors—conformity, compliance, and obedience—in shaping whistleblowing behaviour. The review examines empirical and theoretical studies from 2004 to 2024 to identify how TPB constructs (attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control) integrate with social influence dynamics to influence the intention and action of whistleblowing. The findings highlight that attitudes toward whistleblowing, shaped by personal ethics and organizational culture, significantly influence individuals’ willingness to report misconduct. Subjective norms, reflecting the perceived social pressure to act or remain silent, often intersect with conformity and compliance, either encouraging or deterring whistleblowing. Perceived behavioural control, influenced by organizational support structures and fear of retaliation, determines the feasibility of acting. The role of obedience to authority emerges as a double-edged sword, where supportive leadership fosters whistleblowing while hierarchical pressures discourage it. Furthermore, the review underscores the importance of ethical climates and whistle-blower protection mechanisms in mitigating the negative impact of social pressures. It also identifies gaps in existing research, including the limited exploration of whistleblowing in diverse cultural contexts and the lack of longitudinal studies examining long-term impacts. This study contributes to the literature by providing an integrated framework that combines TPB and social influence theories to understand whistleblowing behaviour. It offers practical insights for policymakers and organizational leaders to design interventions that encourage ethical reporting and protect whistle blowers.

This study aims to analyze the optimal design of whistleblowing programs, focusing on the effects of incentives and the dynamics of whistleblower engagement. Through a qualitative literature review, the research explores the impact of financial incentives on the effectiveness of whistleblowing programs and how factors such as organizational culture and management support influence whistleblowers' decisions. The findings show that while financial incentives are effective in encouraging reporting, excessive incentives can reduce the quality of the information provided. On the other hand, factors such as anonymity and protections for whistleblowers significantly increase their engagement. This study highlights the importance of a holistic approach that combines financial and non-financial incentives with strong protections for whistleblowers to ensure program effectiveness. Furthermore, policy implications suggest the need for continuous evaluation of whistleblowing programs to ensure they remain relevant and effective in detecting violations across different sectors. Although this study provides valuable insights, several limitations, including its focus on literature sourced from the United States and the absence of empirical data, affect the generalization of the findings. Therefore, further research is necessary to test these findings in various organizational contexts and environments.
