    Objectives: This study explores how migration dynamics can shape the ability of education and training systems to address skill shortages and labor market mismatches through a unique comparative study of findings from North Macedonia, Ethiopia, and Ukraine which are considered countries of origin for migrants. Specifically, it investigates whether Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and Vocational Education and Training (VET) providers can produce graduates whose qualifications align with the evolving economic demands, and how these institutions adapt their curricula, foster collaboration with the industry, and cope with resource constraints to mitigate skill gaps which are notably pronounced by brain-drain. Data and Methods: Based on primary qualitative data from conducted interviews with HEIs and VETs, labor market intermediaries, and policy stakeholders, we employed a thematic content analysis to extract patterns regarding curriculum relevance, tracking of graduate employability, perceptions on the quality of education, and responsiveness to technological and structural labor market changes. Additionally, secondary data from statistical databases on migration flows and employment trends throughout the last decade contextualize the interview findings, thus providing a comparation between the four countries. Results: Findings show that a significant share of education institutions believe their qualifications meet the labor market needs, but systematic tracking of graduate outcomes remains a challenge. Interviewees acknowledge skill mismatches since curriculum updates struggle to keep pace with the rapid organizational and technological changes. As a significant contributor towards this is also the insufficient cooperation with businesses. While many institutions attempt to update programs through stakeholder consultation or national accreditation processes, financial constraints were highlighted to limit the required improvement. Furthermore, it is generally understood that brain-drain amplifies the national labor shortages, as graduates with relatively better skill and performance often emigrate for better opportunities. Policy measures such as targeted training programs, wage subsidies, and even active labor market interventions seem to be already employed but yield mixed results across countries. Interviewees emphasize the importance of practical internships, flexibility in learning, and modernized educational frameworks in mitigation of skill shortages and retention of domestic talent. Conclusions: The study highlights an urgent need for reinforced institutional collaboration and robust curriculum reforms that align with global standards. Strengthening public-private partnerships, greater integration of technology as well as enhancing international cooperation particularly through EU-led frameworks appears to be essential in mitigating brain-drain and ensuring that education and training systems in the four countries respond effectively to the labor market demands.

    TRACING THE EVOLUTION OF FORENSIC ACCOUNTING AND FRAUD RESEARCH: A QUANTITATIVE LITERATURE REVIEW
    (Univerzitet u Beogradu, Ekonomski fakultet, 2025-10)
    ;
    ;
    This study offers a thorough bibliometric review of the academic literature on forensic accounting and fraud examination. Its goal is to trace the field's development, identify its key contributions, and highlight emerging trends. A dataset of 979 peer-reviewed publications related to forensic accounting and fraud was collected from Scopus (as of May 31, 2025). Using a transparent selection process, including a PRISMA flow protocol, along with bibliometric techniques, we examined publication patterns, citation impact, co-authorship networks, and keyword co-occurrence to understand the intellectual structure of the field. The analysis shows significant growth in forensic accounting research over the last twenty years, coinciding with rising global awareness of financial fraud. The results highlight a core set of highly cited works and influential authors that have shaped the development of the field, especially in fraud theory, risk assessment, and detection methods. Network visualizations of keyword co-occurrence identify established central themes—such as fraud detection, financial statement fraud, and auditing—and emerging topics like digital forensic analytics and the role of forensic accounting in governance and sustainability. The findings demonstrate that forensic accounting has matured into a distinct academic discipline within accounting, with an expanding scope and international influence. This bibliometric review provides an objective, data-driven synthesis of the literature, offering insights into how the field has evolved and where it is heading. It lays the groundwork for researchers and practitioners to understand current research directions and to identify future paths in the ongoing effort to combat fraud.
