Types of Submissions

Submissions must be explicitly marked as “Full paper”, which includes scientific research papers, comprehensive surveys, and industry case studies describing substantial advancements or insights in the domain of corporate fraud detection, prevention, investigation, or policy. All submitted papers must be original and must include a title, an abstract, a list of relevant keywords, and must adhere to the double-blind review process. Authors must ensure that their manuscripts are fully anonymized—keeping all author names, institutional affiliations, acknowledgments, and any self-identifying references only on the first page of the file submitted.
We welcome submissions that present:
• Applied or theoretical research with direct relevance to corporate fraud.
• Position papers offering critical perspectives or future directions.
• Empirical studies and evaluations of anti-fraud tools, techniques, or regulations.
• Case studies from corporate, governmental, or nonprofit sectors.
• Demonstrations of enterprise-grade applications or investigative tools.
Enterprises, regulators, and academic institutions are especially encouraged to submit demos of innovative solutions or systems. Additionally, proposals for special sessions, tutorials, or workshops are welcome and must contain sufficient detail to allow proper evaluation.

Invitation for Papers

Original research papers and case studies related to, but not limited to, the conference theme and sub-themes are invited. To honour excellence in research, Best Paper Awards will be presented for each sub-theme, with cash prizes of ₹15,000 for 1st place, ₹10,000 for 2nd place, and ₹5,000 for 3rd place. These awards will recognize outstanding contributions that demonstrate originality, technical depth, and significant findings.

Authors Guidelines

• We invite authors to submit original, unpublished research papers written in English language only for presentation. All papers must contain a clear title.
• All submissions will undergo a peer-review process.
• Submissions must be original and must not have been previously published or under consideration elsewhere. Authors are responsible for ensuring that their work properly cites all sources and does not contain copied or self-plagiarized content. All papers will be checked using plagiarism detection software, and those with significant overlap may be rejected. Proven cases of plagiarism may result in disqualification, removal from the proceedings. In each case, the plagiarism has to be below 10 percent.
• Authors must clearly disclose any use of artificial intelligence tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Grammarly, Copilot) in the research, writing, or analysis process. While such tools may assist with grammar, formatting, or code generation, the intellectual contribution and accountability must remain with the human authors. Undisclosed or excessive reliance on AI tools may be considered unethical and could lead to rejection or retraction of the submission.
• Word limit would be 200 to 250 words for abstract and around 4500–5000 words for research paper. Abstract should specify the research objectives, methodology and major findings. The Abstract must be written in one paragraph and it should not include image, table and mathematical formulas.
• The article must contain abstract, keywords, introduction, literature review followed by research methodology, hypotheses, results & major findings (in case of empirical studies), conclusion and policy implications of the study, scope for future research.
• Submissions based on case studies should present real-world applications, lessons learned, and practical implications relevant to the conference themes. Case studies must include sufficient background, methodology, analysis, and conclusions. Authors should ensure that all data is ethically obtained, with proper permissions where applicable, and that any sensitive or identifying information is anonymized unless explicit consent is provided.
• Text should be written in A4 size, Times New Roman, font size-12 with 1.5 line spacing.
• All sources cited in the manuscript must be properly referenced using a APA 7th edition. Authors are responsible for ensuring that all references are complete, accurate, and relevant. Citations should include recent and credible academic sources where applicable. Self-citation should be limited and justified. Improper or missing references may lead to revision requests.
• All tables, images and figures must be properly numbered and must be of high quality and suitable for both digital and print reproduction. Use clear, legible fonts and avoid low-resolution images. Graphs and illustrations should be submitted at a minimum resolution of 300 dpi in JPEG, PNG, or TIFF format. Ensure that all figures are properly referenced in the text. Captions should be descriptive and placed below each figure. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission for any copyrighted images used.
• Selected research papers have the opportunity to be published in NJFAFI, which is a Journal of School of Management Studies, National Forensic Sciences University, Gandhinagar, on a merit basis. The journal requirements for publication have to be met by the authors. All other papers will be published in a book bearing ISBN number.
• The organizers are currently in preliminary discussions with publishers of Scopus-indexed journals. A few high-quality papers will be recommended for publication on a merit basis, provided the authors meet the journal guidelines and are willing to pay the Article Processing Charges (APC).
