This study aims to determine the effect of the fraud diamond dimension on the fraudulent behavior of accounting students at Diponegoro University. Cheating is a fraudulent act committed by someone to gain profit for himself by taking advantage of other people. The data analysis technique in this study was multiple linear regression analysis using data from Diponegoro University accounting student respondents in the 2019 and 2020 batches. The results showed that pressure and ability had an effect on academic cheating, while opportunity and rationalization had no effect on academic cheating. The results of the model feasibility test show that pressure, opportunity, rationalization and ability simultaneously influence the academic fraud of accounting students at Diponegoro University.

“…Ask students to acknowledge having read the rules or even require them to sign an academic integrity contract prior to taking the quiz (using polling or survey features within Moodle). Placing statements (and a link to the faculty's academic integrity policy website) on the cover page or at the beginning of quizzes has been shown to reduce cheating among students (Siev et al, 2019;Tatum et al, 2017).…”

“…Where clear rules regarding integrity does not exist, and where there is a lack of enforcement and penalties, cheating behaviour is blooming (Finchilescu et al, 2018;Peled et al, 2019). In this regard, developing and implementing an honour code, which is supported by all faculty members and clearly explained to students, are important steps in any university (Arnold et al, 2007;Burrus et al, 2007;Siev et al, 2019;Tatum et al, 2017).…”

It has been more than a year since the coronavirus pandemic pushed higher education even more towards an online format, along with many of its key-activities involved. When it comes to transitioning from conventional face-to-face examination to fully online assessment, the use of e-learning tools such as Moodle may bring multiple benefits but they could also raise a lot of concerns. One of the main concerns refers to content leakage, which involves the unauthorized distribution of the exam subjects, such as question banks, or sharing the quiz attempts with colleagues. When this happens, it can hinder the integrity of the online exams and their unique content, and of course, it will impact grades. There could be various causes for content leaks, such as lack of supervision or maybe settings incorrectly applied to quizzes. However, these could be some of the contributing factors that are enabling students to cheat. In light of the above, the aim of this paper is straightforward: to identify and outline the most important and feasible key-measures that could be adopted in order to detect and prevent or (at least substantially) decrease cheating during online exams. As we will further see, the real challenge appears when it comes to tracking down and grasping cheat scenarios. Fortunately, in this approach, we can mix the facilities provided by technologies used in online classes.
