This study seeks to examine the effects of fraud management accounting on organizational value creation of listed firms in Thailand through internal audit function and internal audit effectiveness as the mediators of the study. In addition, governance culture and digital capability are hypothesized to affect fraud management accounting, internal audit function, and internal audit effectiveness. The 297 listed firms in Thailand are the samples of the study. The structural equation model is applied to test the research relationships. The results of the study indicate that, firstly, fraud management accounting has an effect on internal audit function, internal audit effectiveness, and organizational value creation. Secondly, internal audit function affects both internal audit effectiveness and organizational value creation. It also mediates the fraud management accounting-organizational value creation relationships. Thirdly, internal audit effectiveness affects organizational value creation and it mediates the fraud management accounting-organizational value creation relationships. Finally, governance culture affects fraud management accounting, internal audit function and internal audit effectiveness. Accordingly, executives can support, promote and enhance the applications of fraud management accounting in an organization, and utilize its concepts as the valuable tools in order to create best organizational practices and achieve their business goals in the current and future operations.

The objective of this study is to explore the whole process of fraud risk management strategies that should be implemented by the organizations. Secondly, this study discusses the governance issues that arise at each stage of the process. For the purpose of this study, a content analysis of previous literatures is used as a technique for gathering data. This process usually involves codifying qualitative and quantitative information into pre-defined categories in order to derive patterns in the presentation and reporting of information. Based on our content analysis, we found that the fraud risk management process should be made of at least five stages which are inculcating the culture of managing risks in an organization, identifying the risks, evaluating the risks, determining preventive actions and implementing and reviewing stages. Our extended analysis of the fraud risk management process finds that a lot of governance issues arise in the fraud risk management process that should be solved by regulators and companies in order to ensure that fraud risk management process is embedded as corporate culture, not merely as a process. Among them are how to create the risk culture in an organization and whether auditors and risk management committees identify risks from each available source.

Many researches have been done in insurance fraud as the amount and frequency of insurance fraud have been increasing continuously. In particular, the development of insurance fraud detection system using large database management techniques including data mining or link analysis based on visual method have been the main research topic in insurance fraud. However, this kinds of detection system were very ineffective to find unintentional insurance fraud happened by accident even though it was so good to find intentional and organized crime insurance fraud. Therefore, this research suggests insurance fraud as an ethical decision making and applies TPB(Theory of Planned Behavior) for the finding of reasons and prevention strategies of unintentional insurance fraud happened by accident. The results of research show that TPB is very appropriate model to explain the behavior of insurance fraud and that insurance agents force to do insurance fraud as affecting perceived behavior control. Therefore, education and pubic relations for insurance fraud are very effective for preventing insurance fraud and developing insurance service industry.

최근 전자금융사기에 대한 관심이 증가되고 있다. 특히, 전자금융사기는 사회공학적 양상으로 진화하고 있다. 이러한 높은 관심에도 불구하고 전자금융사기를 방지하기 위한 적절한 가이드라인은 거의 없는 실정이다. 더군다나, 실제피해자들을 대상으로 관련 연구가 거의 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 실제 피해자들을 대상으로 왜 전자금융사기가 발생하는지에 대한 근원적 접근을 시도하고자 한다. 보다 실제적인 현실세계를 반영하기 위해, 본 연구에서는 피해자들을 대상으로 초점면접기법(FGI)을 활용해 분석하였다. 분석결과, 전자금융사기를 당하는 데에는 일정한 피해패턴이 있음을 발견할 수 있었다. 또한 왜 전자금융사기가 발생하는지에 대한 근본적인 물음에 대한 해답은 행동경제학에 바탕으로 둔 인간의 낙관적 편향이라는 심리적 인지오류로 인해 피해가 발생함을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 연구의 수행을 통해 위기관리 관점으로 향후 전자금융사기를 방지하기 위한 의미 있는 가이드라인과 방향성을 제공하며, 궁극적으로는 정부 및 산업계의 효과적 정책을 개발하기 위한 중요한 기초자료로서 활용되기를 기대한다.

The objective of this study is to examine the influence of fraud investigation on organizational performance of Thai listed companies through mediating effects of internal audit quality, accounting information transparency and financial effectiveness, and moderating effect of corporate governance. In this study, 333 Thai listed companies are the samples of the study. Both the structural equation model and multiple regression analysis are used to examine the research relationships. The results of this study show that fraud investigation has a significant influence on internal audit quality, accounting information transparency, and financial effectiveness. Internal audit quality significantly influences accounting information transparency, financial effectiveness, and organizational performance while financial effectiveness significantly influences organizational performance. Next, both internal audit quality and financial effectiveness potentially mediate the fraud investigation-organizational performance relationships. In addition, corporate governance critically moderates the fraud investigation-internal audit quality relationships and the fraud investigation-financial effectiveness relationships. In summary, fraud investigation functions as an important valuable technique of internal audit practices. As a result, businesses must build and implement a systematic fraud investigation procedure to generate and improve beneficial outcomes in the short, medium, and long term.

Background: The aim of our study was to review the findings of health insurance fraud investigations and to evaluate their impacts on medical costs for target and non-target organizations. An interrupted time series study design using generalized estimation equations was used to evaluate changes in cost following fraud investigations. Methods: We used National Health Insurance claims data from 2009 to 2015, which included 20,625 medical institutions (1,614 target organizations and 19,011 non-target organizations). Outcome variable included cost change after fraud investigation. Results: Following the initiation of fraud investigations, we found statistically significant reductions in cost level for target organizations (-1.40%, p<0.001). In addition, a reduction in cost trend change per month was found for both target organizations and non-target organizations after fraud investigation (target organizations, -0.33%; non-target organizations of same region, -0.19%; non-target organizations of other regions, -0.17%). Conclusion: This study suggested that fraud investigations are associated with cost reduction in target organization. We also found similar effects of fraud investigations on health expenditure for non-target organizations located in the same region and in different regions. Our finding suggests that fraud investigations are important in controlling the growth of health expenditure. To maximize the effects of fraud investigation on the growth of health expenditure, more organizations needed to be considered as target organizations.

Although financial information is a great influence upon determining of the group which use them, detection of management fraud and earning manipulation is a difficult task using normal audit procedures and corporate credit evaluation processes, due to the shortage of knowledge concerning the characteristics of management fraud, and the limitation of time and cost. These limitations suggest the need of systemic process for !he effective risk of earning manipulation for credit evaluators, external auditors, financial analysts, and regulators. Moot researches on management fraud have examined how various characteristics of the company's management features affect the occurrence of corporate fraud. This study examines financial characteristics of companies engaged in fraudulent financial reporting and suggests a model and system for detecting GAAP violations to improve reliability of accounting information and transparency of their management. Since the detection of management fraud has limited proven theory, this study used the detecting method of outlier(upper, and lower bound) financial ratio, as a real-field application. The strength of outlier detecting method is its use of easiness and understandability. In the suggested model, 14 variables of the 7 useful variable categories among the 76 financial ratio variables are examined through the distribution analysis as possible indicators of fraudulent financial statements accounts. The developed model from these variables show a 80.82% of hit ratio for the holdout sample. This model was developed as a financial outlier detecting system for a financial institution. External auditors, financial analysts, regulators, and other users of financial statements might use this model to pre-screen potential earnings manipulators in the credit evaluation system. Especially, this model will be helpful for the loan evaluators of financial institutes to decide more objective and effective credit ratings and to improve the quality of financial statements.

Purpose - This study analyzes the scope of due diligence and risks of banks and K-Sure in trade finance covered by EFF focusing on Moneual case, one of the latest and biggest trade finance fraud cases in Korea. Also, we suggest anti-fraud measures in trade finance on the part of banks and K-Sure in order to give them a desirable way of due diligence and reasonable risk management of export insurance. Design/methodology - Based on Moneual case of trade finance fraud, this study employs the methodology of an extended literature review and analysis of court decisions. Findings - Seoul High Court of Korea failed to decide whether K-Sure was wholly obliged to pay the insurance against the banks' EFF claims, but issued a compulsory mediation order, judging that both the banks and K-Sure were responsible by 50:50. The court may have judged that both the parties had lacked their due diligence in the trade finance. It is quite difficult for trade finance providers to manually investigate whether the transaction is suspected of trade finance fraud, so digitalization of trade finance which can facilitate the prevention and detection of trade fraud needs to be realized quickly. Since there has been no international rule available for open account trade finance up till now, clearly stipulated EFF terms on the exporter's genuine export obligation might have protected K-Sure from the disaster. Originality/value - This study investigates the due diligence of the banks and K-Sure in Moneual case which few researchers have considered, to the best of our knowledge. This study also suggests several practical methods (including block chain) to prevent complicating trade finance fraud amid increasing use of an open account, and further offers reasonable risk management of EFF employing international factoring rule which is also related to problematic open account trade finance.
