This research aims to carry out fraud detection efforts through the implementation of a whistleblowing system. In this case, whistleblowing is a system where the public can report various indications of fraudulent practices in both the business and public sectors. This whistleblowing system was designed as the main step for early detection and prevention of fraudulent practices in both the business and public sectors. However, the implementation of whistleblowing still requires the role of whistleblowers who report anonymously. Where the reporter gets guarantees from the recipient of the report for various fraudulent practices (fraud). This article uses a literature study approach (literature review). This article states that whistleblowing channels are very effective in detecting and preventing various fraudulent practices in all public and business sectors.

The population analyzed is all people who have an interest in buying Idemu furniture products, who understand Idemu products and know Idemu products in Jakarta. The calculation sample is calculated based on the number of indicators multiplied by 5, so that 215 respondents are obtained. The Structural Model was chosen as the method of analysis using PLS software. The results of the study show that Perceived Quality, Social Media, Perceived Price and Celebrity Endorsers have a positive effect on Brand Image. Brand Image, Social Media, Perceived Price have a positive effect on Purchase Intention, but Perceived Quality and Celebity Endorser have no influence on Purchase Intention.

The purpose of this study aimed to examine the influence of financial flexibility on the firm value of listed non-financial corporations at the NSE in Kenya from the period 2011 to 2019. Specifically, this study examined the influence of cash holdings; debt capacity; and financing cost restrictions on firms’ value of listed non-financial companies quoted at the NSE. The study further examined the moderating role played by firm size in the association between financial flexibility and firm value of non-finance companies quoted at the NSE in Kenya. The study was underpinned by the free cash flow theory, the trade-off theory and the pecking-order theory. The study adopted a descriptive longitudinal research design and focussed on all the 37 non-financial listed at the NSE as of December 31, 2020. However, firms that were financially distressed as of the time of data collection did not form part of the study. As a result, only 31 firms with 272 firm-year observations formed part of the study. The study utilized panel data that was analysed using panel multiple regression analysis and aided by the STATA statistical package. To ensure the non-violation of statistical assumption and to allow for remedial action when a violation occurred, diagnostic tests were carried out. Hausman specification test results favoured the use of the random-effects model.

Purpose: The primary objective of this research is to investigate the strategies employed by female entrepreneurs in Saudi Arabia to overcome the challenges associated with running successful businesses across various sectors. Theoretical Framework: The literature reviews shows that the entrepreneurial endeavors of Saudi women appear to be dynamic and demanding, showcasing their resilience in choosing entrepreneurship as a career path. Design/Methodology/Approach: To conduct the analysis, a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods was utilized. Both primary and secondary data were gathered from women entrepreneurs in different states of Saudi Arabia. In-depth interviews were conducted with 100 female entrepreneurs involved in various small-scale business activities, such as apparel, fragrances, coffee shops, and boutiques. The major findings of the study is that majority of women (almost all 100 sample) taken for study have plans for future business expansion. Findings: The Saudi women also receive a lot of Government support for their business operations. It was also found that majority of Saudi women have invested more than 200000SAR initially. However, it is important to note the limitations of this research. The findings may not be readily generalizable beyond the selected sample. Research/Practical and Social Implications: The success of the Saudi Vision 2030 plan is believed to depend on a higher percentage of women in the labor force, and this objective has been achieved ten years ahead of schedule as more women are joining the workforce in recent years. Originality/Value: The article highlights the value of women's participation in business for the improvement of society at large. The study sheds light on the often-overlooked role of Saudi women as small business owners.
