“…The research respondents were asked the extent of their agreement with the 7 items of Knowledge requirement (Davis et al, 2010;Ramaswamy, 2007Ramaswamy, , 2005, 16 items of Fraud related problem representation (Basadur, Basadur and Licina, 2013;Basadur & Basadur, 2011) and 4 items of Task performance fraud risk assessment (Dzomira, 2014;Owens, 2012).

Purpose – The paper aims to investigate Task Performance Fraud Risk Assessment (TPFRA) and Knowledge Requirement (KR) of the forensic accountant and auditor on Fraud-Related Problem Representation (FRPR) in the Nigerian public sector. Design/methodology/approach – The study used cross-sectional design and 400 survey questionnaires. The respondents are real professional people (auditors and forensic accountants in the Nigerian public sector) as true representatives to enhance the generalization of the outcomes. A total of 36 indicator items was measured on five-point Likert scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Partial Least Square – Structural Equation Modelling 2.0 3M and IBM SPSS Statistics 20.0 were used as the primary statistical analysis tool for the study. Findings – The results of the present study confirm the positive relationship between KR on TPFRA, positive relationship of KR on FRPR and positive relationship of FRPR and TPFRA. Specifically, the results revealed that FRPR positively mediates the relationship between TPFRA and KR (forensic accountant and auditor) in the areas of fraud prevention, detection and response. Research limitations/implications – The first limitation deals with fraud and corrupt practices in a developing country, Nigeria. Examining the mediating influence of FRPR on KR and TPFRA in the public sector could be considered as sensitive and raise the issue of bias. The second limitation is the adoption of cross-sectional design in which data are collected at one point in time. Researchers are encouraged to use a longitudinal design to explore interactions between KR, FRPR and TPFRA. Practical implications – This empirical study has revealed the value of KR (forensic accountant and auditor) as a significant capability requirement in the workplace. In addition, it shows the importance of FRPR as an important mental state in decision-making or judgment and also the significance of FRPR as an important mediating variable on KR and TPFRA. Originality/value – No nation is immune to fraud, and loss due to fraud in the public sector is enormous and costly; the result of this research will improve the KR of auditors and forensic accountants in the areas of fraud detection, prevention and response. It will also contribute to the regulatory, legal and institutional frameworks in accounting and auditing systems in Nigeria and portend an increase in demand for forensic accountants.

“…Business sustainability can be achieved through a perspective known as resourced-based view which regards the business as resources independent from external and industry factors (Ambrosini, 2003). (Basadur, Basadur, & Licina, 2013) interprets the resourced-based view that the business's resources, especially its people, are key drivers of the business's sustainable competitive advantage, because with good leadership and managerial skills, the people in the business will be capable to adapt to the ever-changing markets and industry structures. "Simplexity thinking" is a system that involves all employees to maximize their knowledge, process, and skills to constantly counter both internal and external problems to develop a sustainable organization (Basadur et al, 2013).…”

“…A qualitative study of family businesses by Ungerer and Mienie (2018) indicates an important need to develop an entrepreneurial mindset for the successors, or it will be difficult for the business to last till the next generation especially when the number of family members outgrows the dividends per member. To achieve sustainability, family businesses must adapt to new situations, and this mindset of the family businesses can contribute to trans-generational success (Basadur et al, 2013).…”

Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) contribute significantly to the economy, despite the fact that their survival rate is declining over generations. The purpose of this research is to create a communication model suitable for SMEs during succession for innovation and business sustainability. Fourteen innovative family SMEs in Thailand are selected using the assembled multiple-case study method, and in-depth individual interviews are conducted using the data triangulation method with the incumbents, successors, and long-serving non-family employees as participants from each business. There are two main findings. Issues regarding organizational innovation, social capital in the form of internal and external network relationships, traditional and territorial knowledge, succession planning and procedure, and a sustainability-driven mindset should be communicated, formally or informally, during the succession process. Secondly, the incumbent's contradiction between his intention and action, the successor's ability and willingness, and the staff's response to changes during the succession process are the main communication barriers against achieving innovation and sustainability. By implementing the communication model in the family business, the incumbents and successors can maximize the business's structure and resources to be better understood throughout the firm, with the business maintaining or reinterpreting its cultures, values, and traditions for the next generation. The model allows family businesses to have better awareness in terms of innovation management, social capital, innovation with their background knowledge as capital, succession, and business sustainability. Successful communication of the topics and concepts during succession should raise the standard and competitiveness of family businesses domestically and internationally.
