Abstract

This study was conducted with the aim of seeing and reviewing more comprehensively the factors that cause financial crimes with descriptive qualitative. The sample used consisted of 1000 documents published in the period 2015-2025 using the crossref database with the keyword financial shenanigans. In this study, bibliometric methodology was used to conduct a systematic literature review. Bibliometric graphical data analysis and visualization of research results were carried out using Publish or Perish and VOSviewer software. The results of the bibliometric visualization show the structure of the financial research topic network. These topics are divided into three main thematic clusters. The first cluster (in green) dominates themes related to financial reports, fraud, and crime, which shows the intensity of academic studies on the integrity of financial reports, manipulation practices, and forensic accounting issues. The second cluster (in red) covers the topics of financial stability, policies, banks, and risks, which indicates the focus of the literature on financial system stability, the effectiveness of macroeconomic policies, and risk management in the banking sector and financial markets. Meanwhile, the third cluster (in blue) focuses on financial behavior, financial education, and financial attitudes, which marks an increasing attention to the dimensions of individual behavior in financial decision-making, including in the younger generation segment such as Generation Z. The interrelationships between topics in each cluster show the integration of conceptualization between micro (financial behavior) and macro (policy and stability) aspects, as well as an interdisciplinary approach in the development of contemporary financial studies. This also helps future research by combining research based on keyword relationships to better understand what influences the occurrence of Financial Shenanigans
