We received more than 70 papers, come from academics and practitioners, those were from 21 universities in Indonesia and other countries, and 4 goverenment institutions. The abstracts of each paper submitted we received are presented in this conference proceeding.

As the motto of ACFE is Together Reducing Fraud Worldwide, the conference expresses the responsibility of everyone including researchers to always seek for the better way to reduce fraud, and we believe that combatting fraud without prevention will be a no-end circle of fraud. From the conference we hope that we can have insights from the speakers and possibilities from the authors on how to reduce the fraud.
