This study was conducted at one of universities located in Central Java by describing several variables including fraud, whistleblowing and management of student funds.. The data was analyzed using fraud triangle framework and the fraud scheme based on the ACFE classification. The results of this study show that in the management of student funds there was the potential for fraud, such as misuse of financial statements and corruption.
