Evolusi Penelitian Accounting Fraud

Accounting fraud poses a significant threat to financial integrity and organizational governance. Despite the rapid growth of research on accounting fraud since 2000, gaps remain in understanding this phenomenon, particularly in specific sectors and through multidisciplinary approaches. This study focuses on uncovering key trends in publications related to accounting fraud, utilizing a mapping approach that includes journal sources, institutional affiliations, countries of origin, and relevant fields of study. This research employs bibliometric analysis by evaluating keyword usage patterns through co-occurrence analysis. The analyzed data is sourced from the Scopus database, having undergone a series of selection processes, comprising a total of 1,331 documents published between 2000 and 2024. Research on accounting fraud from 2000 to 2024 highlights the importance of forensic accounting, auditing, and advanced regulations in detecting and preventing financial manipulation, with a focus on the healthcare, insurance, and commercial sectors to ensure transparency, accountability, and financial reporting integrity. However, research on accounting fraud during this period remains limited to traditional approaches and certain fields, with minimal utilization of advanced technologies and multidisciplinary approaches to understand the complexity of this phenomenon across various sectors.
