This study aims to analyze the relationship between the sustainability performances (corporate social performance, good corporate governance, and financial performance) and the risk as well as the value of the company. Employing the data from publicly listed mining firms in Indonesia and structural equation modeling to examine the hypotheses, we find that the corporate social performance improvement can be served to increase the corporate financial performance. Implementation of good corporate governance may contribute to improve financial performance and reduce the risk of the company. In short term, investors will appreciate the social and environmental responsibility undertaken by the company only if its implementation can contribute to the improvement of the company’s financial performance. In long term, social and environmental performance improvements made by the company will be able to increase the value of the company directly. Investors consider companies that apply the principles of good corporate governance not just as regulatory compliance, so that it can provide benefits for improving corporate performance and value of the company, in the short term and long term.

Indonesia is currently in an honesty crisis, especially in financial governance, bothin government and private institutions. Our study uses the concept of financial intelligence toidentify and collect information related to financial affairs in an organization. We use theopinions of 76 auditors regarding various fraudulent attempts, both with fraudulent financialstatements and other corrupt practices in organizations in Indonesia. Our important finding isthat small companies are more likely to commit fraud due to weak supervisors than listed publiccompanies. This is also more likely than family-owned companies and government levelorganizations. It was indicated by some respondents that local government level organizationswith weak supervision are more likely to commit fraud than local governments with closesupervision from urban communities. The results of the non-parametric relationship analysisshow that although there is a possibility that the more experienced the auditor is, the more ablethey are to detect fraud and manipulation in the organization, the relationship is relativelyweak. Other findings also show that auditors who have a CFE certificate find it easier to findfraud in the company.

We explored the specific context of financial statements of fraud in Indonesia based on empirical evidence. We also explored the lineament of fraudulent financial reporting in Indonesia. This research is important because it will greatly assist the auditor in understanding the pattern and form of fraud, to be able to detect and report these illegal actions. We used a mixed-method of surveying and observation to collect data. Our finding is that the financial statement of fraud is a case throughout the world. The most dominant fraud in Indonesia is the problem of recognition of inappropriate income and secondly related to the improper valuation of assets. We also found something else, that the higher the auditor's experience, the easier it was to find and detect fraud on financial statements and that auditors who hold CFE certificates found more cases of financial reporting fraud during the audit process compared to auditors without CFE certificates. This research contributes to the development of literature by broadening the understanding of academics and practitioners of various fraud profiles that are generally carried out in Indonesia.
