This paper presents an empirical study on women’s financial literacy in a developing country, Indonesia. Financial literacy in developing countries, especially for women, needs to be improved. Traditionally, women have an important role in managing family finances. Their ability to conduct good financial management can help their family’s financial stability and improve its welfare. If women do not have adequate capacity to manage the family’s finances, the family’s economic health can be at risk. Having financial literacy is important as it provides financial resilience at times of uncertainty. This explanatory research uses a sample comprising 100 women living in the city of Bandung, Indonesia, who are in the Baby Boomer generation as well as in Generations X, Y, and Z. The data were collected through an online questionnaire and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results provide evidence that perceived financial knowledge has a significant effect on financial management behavior in the dimensions of savings behavior, shopping behavior, long-term planning, and short-term planning. Moreover, the study results show that the respondents have a moderate level of financial literacy and financial management behavior.

Among all sectors, the government sector is in second place by the number of frauds. According to the Global Corruption Barometer (2020), Indonesia ranks third in terms of corruption among Asian countries. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors influencing fraud with unethical behavior as intervening variable on local government in Indonesia. Palembang City was included in 14 cities that contributed State Civil Apparatus involved fraud case in Indonesia. Therefore the sample in this study was 165 State Civil Apparatus with a minimum position as financial management staff from 33 Palembang City Government Offices. Data for the study were collected by online questionnaire. For data processing and analysis the author used Smart PLS – software with graphical user interface for variance-based structural equation modeling using the partial least squares path modeling method. The study results show that internal control, compensation suitability, moral reasoning and religiosity had an effect on fraud with unethical behavior as an intervening variable. Internal control is very important to provide protection for agencies against human weakness and to minimize the possibility of errors and actions that are not in accordance with the rules. Proportional compensation can lead to satisfaction with the commission received. Thus, it reduces unethical behavior. An individual's moral reasoning is one of the factors leading to ethical and unethical behavior. Individuals who have a better moral understanding will obey all applicable rules and policies so as to avoid unethical behavior. The level of a person's religiosity can determine a person's behavior because individuals who have a high level of religiosity will obey the values or rules that have been established by their religion. Individuals who have better religious values will find it easier to avoid and overcome fraud.

The purpose of this study is to examine the level of small and medium (SMEs) business owners-managers’ financial literacy and its effect on the firm’s performance. The study applied random sample and structural equation modeling approaches in measuring the impact of SME firm owners-managers’ level of financial literacy in the context of Pakistan. The findings reveal the complete influence of firm owners- manager’s financial attitude, financial knowledge and financial awareness in adapting financial literacy to upsurge in firm performance. Results indicate that financial awareness and financial knowledge of SME managers are evidently not a precondition to SMEs performance, yet entrepreneur tactics in making decisions and association to financial attitude have a contrast with financial literacy. Findings would be valuable for the SME owners, investors and service providers.

Applications of this study: The results of this study will be beneficial for financial institutions and governments that usually hold education and training programs for their customers to increase financial knowledge so as to increase the confidence of their customers (including lecturers) in their ability to manage finance. Furthermore, this knowledge will be conveyed back to the students of the lecturer in the learning process about finance, so that it will indirectly increase the financial literacy of their students and society at large. Novelty/Originality of this study: Many researches about financial behavior topics have analyzed financial information factors’ influence on financial management behavior, but few of them have included psychological factors such as financial self-efficacy and emotional intelligence.
