Acts of fraud and corruption are still the main problems in Indonesia. This country needs a new method, namely a whistleblowing system or a violation reporting system as an early detection that minimizes fraud. This study aims to investigate the moderating effect of auditor independence on the relationship of whistleblowing systems and fraud. Data was collected employing surveys and interviews with auditors and Supervisors for the Implementation of Government Affairs in the Regions (P2UPD) at the Provincial Inspectorate X. Data analysis was carried out using moderated regression analysis (MRA) and the test results indicated that there was anecdotal evidence that auditor independence weakens the effect whistleblowing system implementation on the intensity of fraud that can be found by the auditor. This indicates that auditors who have high independence tend to ignore the existence of the whistleblowing system to find fraudulent acts.

Introduction/Main Objectives: This study aims to examine the influence of a user’s trusting beliefs on the intention to continue making purchases via social commerce. Indonesia is ranked 4th in the world for the most active online users of social media. Thus, it is necessary to investigate the influence of those variables. Background Problems: Social networks contribute to online trading by providing platforms for social commerce. The author chose the trusting beliefs concept and linked it to online users’ trust in social commerce. Novelty: Trusting beliefs variables are fundamental in shaping online users’ behaviors, but no prior research has investigated the effect of trusting beliefs on the intention to make purchases via social commerce. This study presents new research that provides a comprehensive model related to social commerce. Research Methods: This research uses purposive sampling of people who are required to have social media accounts and who have made purchases via social commerce at least once with data taken from surveys. The research uses Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Finding/Results: This study proves that all trusting beliefs variables are supported and significant, but there is one hypothesis that is not supported (H4). Empirically, this indicates that active users are not necessarily engaging in online shopping using their social media. Conclusion: This study provides insights into the potential role of trusting beliefs driving continuing purchases in the context of social commerce research. We suggest that the sellers need to give customers-to-be more frequent and wider product reviews information so they can get results in terms of stronger product image and motivate them to make purchases via social commerce.
