Abstract

This study aims to link Crowe's pentagon fraud theory to investigate student academic fraud behaviour during the pandemic. This study used a positivist perspective with a comparative causal approach to empirically prove academic fraud behaviour. The population of this research is studied majoring in accounting at Muhammadiyah University of Semarang who are actively studying for one academic year, 2021/2022. Data were collected using a questionnaire survey using google-form media. Data analysis used Multivariate Analysis-Structural Equation Model - Partial Least Square (SEM - PLS). The results showed that student academic cheating during the pandemic was relatively high. Plagiarism, cheating and non-compliance during lectures are the most frequently done by students compared to other indicators. This study found that Crowe's pentagon fraud concept and theory, namely pressure, opportunity, rationalization, competence, and arrogance, was able to reveal the primary reasons why students majoring in accounting at the University of Muhammadiyah Semarang commit academic fraud.
