Abstract


This study aims to investigate the literature on creative accounting in the accounting field from 2013 to 2023 using a combination of bibliometric analysis and a systematic review. The research employs a combined method of bibliometric analysis and systematic review to collect and analyze data from 800 relevant articles sourced from Google Scholar. Publication trends demonstrate consistent development, the most frequently cited works serve as relevant directions for further research, and numerous critical topics in the academic networks within the creative accounting literature warrant further investigation. The novelty of this research lies in its combined approach of utilizing both bibliometric analysis and a systematic review to investigate the literature on creative accounting over the course of a decade.
