Abstract
This study examines the increase in financial statement fraud in Indonesian companies and explores the role of accountants in preventing fraud during the period 2014–2024. The bibliometric method using VOSviewer was applied to map publication trends, author collaboration networks, and dominant themes in SINTA-indexed accounting journals. The results show that accountants play a role as designers and evaluators of internal control policies, implementers of professional skepticism, and adopters of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data analytics. Various challenges faced include the adaptation of remote auditing, the complexity of fraud modes, and organizational cultural barriers. Recommended prevention strategies include integrating quantitative detection models into audit procedures, continuous training, strengthening whistleblowing systems, and cross-institutional collaboration. These findings enrich academic discourse and provide practical guidance for improving accountability and transparency in financial reporting in Indonesia.
