Based on these problems, the author needs to conduct limited research to reveal the factors that cause irregularities by KPK employees. The research was conducted by collecting data based on documents and theories obtained from literature studies and then analyzed to reveal the factors causing corruption by KPK employees. The results of the study reveal 5 factors that cause corruption by KPK employees, namely: 1) Lack of integrity of the perpetrators in carrying out their duties as Evidence Managers, 2) The perpetrators are proven to have a greedy nature, where the process of taking gold begins with a small amount and continued with a larger portion on the next opportunity, 3) The perpetrator has the opportunity because of his role in supervising and monitoring the booty and then taking the booty from the storage house on the orders of the investigator, 4) The perpetrator is proven to have more needs including financial activities in high risk portfolios in the form of investment in stocks/foreign currency, 5) The perpetrators consider that the exposure to punishment imposed on corruptors is not proportional with the impact of losses, example the case of KPK investigators who are suspected of destroying evidence in the bribery case are only returned to the original agency without adequate punishment. It is hoped that the results of this research can be input to all Ministries/Institutions to strengthen the internal control system and make more efforts to maintain the integrity of each individual employee so that similar problems do not occur in the future.","PeriodicalId":251943,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Fraud Journal","volume":"278 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116849165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The whole process of managing cooperatives must be based on the principles of good organizational governance. 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. The results of this study indicate that there is a potential for fraud in managing funds at “Dana” Cooperative in the form of asset misappropriation. The funds managed by the cooperative are funds obtained from funding program for the independent villages launched by the provincial government. Fraud motives include pressure, opportunity, and rationalization.","PeriodicalId":251943,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Fraud Journal","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124615364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results of this study indicate that corporate governance has no effect on fraud, while the effectiveness of the internal audit function is able to reduce fraud in Islamic banking in Indonesia.

Thus, a high degree of integrity presupposes a low level of corruption. A reasonable strategy would be to prevent employees from committing fraud before recognizing them, as we cannot do much once the harm has been done. Therefore, to improve evasion procedures, organizations need to have specific tactics and techniques in place to make them more understandable and visible to employees. This study aims to demonstrate the importance of integrity and introspection in preventing fraud in a business. The findings reveal several policy implications. First, corruption can be thwarted by vigorously enforcing integrity and introspection. Second, adopting these two variables alone is insufficient; we also require a strong political will to implement such measures.","PeriodicalId":251943,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Fraud Journal","volume":"205 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122683827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The banking sector itself is a sector that is rigid in terms of regulation and places great emphasis on prudential aspects in its business processes. Bahoo (2020) in his paper states that corruption in the banking sector raises considerations for building an anti-corruption architectural system within banks to eradicate corruption. This preliminary study will describe cases of corruption in the banking sector in Indonesia in a limited period of time. This study uses data from court rulings related to banking corruption cases registered in 2020. The overview of corruption cases shows the central tendency related to the profile of fraudsters, the value of state finance loss, court imprisonment, and the modus operandi of fraud/corruption committed by the perpetrators. The findings show that corruption in the banking sector in Indonesia occurs at State-Owned Enterprises and Local Government-Owned in the form of commercial banks, rural banks and sharia rural banks. The data indicates that in terms of gender, the fraudsters, although still dominated by the male gender, are relatively equal with the female gender where ratio of the male and the female is 6:4. Furthermore, the data indicates that in terms of position or rank of the fraudster, the higher the position of the bank’s internal employee, the greater the value of state finance loss incurred. The results of this study also show that the modus operandi of crimes that often occur is borrowing the name of the debtor, fictitious credit, and collusion in applying for credit. The repeated modus operandi is a challenge for policy managers in designing better systems and governance to eliminate the level of corruption in the banking sector. In the future, it is necessary to expand and enrich data collection and data analysis of corruption cases in the banking sector in Indonesia so that it can provide a better picture.","PeriodicalId":251943,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Fraud Journal","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130840346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data is analyzed using SMART-PLS with a total of 8 banks’ data for seven years from 2015 to 2021. It is found that good corporate governance executors affect the WBS by 51.3%, while fraud detection is affected both by the good corporate governance mechanism and the whistleblowing system by 37.5%. Both the board of commissioners and audit committee were found to affect the whistleblowing system, while internal audit units don’t. In contrast to this, fraud is affected by internal audit units and whistleblowing systems.
